Resident urges stop signs on Spring Garden Road after reports of motorcycle racing
Summary
A Robbinsville resident told the council the neighborhood has seen repeated street motorcycle racing and urged installation of stop signs at Cottage to slow traffic on Spring Garden Road and adjacent streets; no formal council action was recorded during the public comment period.
A resident of Spring Garden Road told the Robbinsville council during public comment that motorcycles have been racing through the neighborhood and asked the town to install stop signs at Cottage to slow drivers.
"Mr. Mayor, I emailed you post. I was just coming to see if there was any update," the resident said, later describing that bikes had been "circling around like four or five times" on runs that included Spring Garden Road and the nearby Robbinsville, Allentown and Sharon streets. The resident said such rides turn a neighborhood street into a racetrack and asked for the same level of respect residents see in Town Center.
The comment came during the council's public comment period, which the presiding official opened by asking speakers to state their name and address for the record and noting the council would listen but would not enter into a question-and-answer session. The meeting transcript does not record any immediate motion, referral, or vote by the council in response to the request.
The resident said they had not received a reply to an earlier email to the mayor and had come to the meeting seeking an update. The council did not announce any follow-up steps on the record in the portion of the meeting captured in the transcript.
Next steps: the council may refer the safety request to town staff or public works for investigation; the transcript does not record such a referral during the public comment segment.
