Residents urge action on Valley Road speeding; police to study and boost patrols
Summary
Neighbors told the Easton Board of Police Commissioners on May 18 that excessive speeding on Valley Road endangers residents; Chief Koskinas committed to a traffic study and increased patrols after neighbors submitted a petition requesting speed bumps.
Residents told the Easton Board of Police Commissioners at their May 18 meeting that excessive speeding on Valley Road has become a safety concern. Rich Kotchmar (25 Valley Rd) and Theodore Schultz (35 Valley Rd) delivered public comments and submitted a letter signed by other neighbors asking the board to install speed bumps.
Chief Koskinas responded to the public comments by agreeing to conduct a traffic study and to increase patrols on Valley Road. The chief did not provide a timeline for the study or specify which traffic-calming measures would be recommended. No formal motion or vote on speed bumps occurred during the meeting.
The board accepted the public comments as part of the meeting record; next steps for traffic-calming measures depend on the results of the traffic study and any subsequent requests or motions from the board or staff.
