Town Board enacts law cutting Harrison Drive speed limit to 25 mph to align with Larchmont
Summary
After a brief public hearing with no public speakers, the Mamaroneck Town Board adopted a local law reducing the town section of Harrison Drive from 30 mph to 25 mph to match the village of Larchmont; board members asked staff to post signage at both ends of the town’s portion to avoid driver confusion.
The Mamaroneck Town Board voted to adopt a local law reducing the speed limit on the town portion of Harrison Drive from 30 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour.
Town staff and a board member described Harrison Drive as a winding street that can be hazardous at higher speeds and noted that the village of Larchmont has already reduced its portion of Harrison Drive to 25 mph. The change was presented as a safety measure and to maintain a consistent speed limit across municipal boundaries. No members of the public spoke during the hearing.
Board members discussed how the change will be communicated. One board member asked how the town would notify motorists beyond installing new signs; staff and other board members indicated that the primary method will be signage and that signs should be posted at both ends of the town’s portion to minimize confusion for drivers crossing the village line.
The board moved to close the public hearing, passed the local law by voice vote and recorded the adoption on the meeting record (the law’s official local-law number is to be determined). The supervisor thanked members and closed the agenda item.
