Police propose signage and enforcement for Devonshire; KinderCare construction appears to be starting
Summary
Police Chief Lisa Vargas told the board that signs cannot be installed on County right of way and proposed alternative signage, social media notices and an initial warning period before citations; Alderman Ben Stark reported construction fencing is going up at the KinderCare site.
Police Chief Lisa Vargas briefed the Board of Aldermen on Oct. 14 about a morning traffic issue on Devonshire and proposed steps to deter through‑traffic.
Vargas said the department cannot install signs on County right of way but suggested alternative signage used by nearby municipalities, posting notices on social media and an initial enforcement phase of warnings before issuing citations. The plan, as explained in the meeting, would rely on signs where permitted and follow a period of warnings to educate drivers.
Separately, Alderman Ben Stark reported that KinderCare’s construction activity appears to be starting, with construction fencing going up around the lot. No formal permitting updates or votes were recorded in the meeting minutes related to the KinderCare site during this session.
There were no public comments recorded on these items during the meeting; the board adjourned after routine closing business.
