Jericho committee weighs planters vs. speed bumps, may reallocate budget toward town speed-reduction
Summary
Committee members reported attending a select board discussion of speed bumps and an alternative using planters; Cody suggested using unused committee funds to help pay for the town's speed-reduction measures, and members noted they will reach out to a Ross Lane landowner about speed control.
Committee member Cody and public participant Jack Evans reported attending a town select board meeting where officials discussed installing speed bumps and an alternative approach that uses planters to narrow lanes and slow traffic indirectly. Cody suggested that if the committee does not use its own budget, it could redirect funds to support the town's speed-reduction effort.
The committee also recorded a follow-up item to consider speed control off Ross Lane and to reach out to the landowner to explore options. The minutes do not record any formal motion to reallocate committee funds; the suggestion was entered as a discussion point rather than an adopted budget action.
Members emphasized the need to coordinate with the town and property owners before any physical measures are installed. No implementation timeline or formal cost-sharing agreement with the town was recorded in the minutes; committee follow-up is limited to outreach and further quote-gathering.
