Resident urges action after report of nonfunctioning railroad crossing signals and reckless driving
Summary
A Woolwich resident told the June 1 committee that railroad crossing signals on Asbury Station Road are nonfunctioning and overgrown and that high school students have driven recklessly on Garwin Road; the committee directed staff to contact rail authorities and the police chief to follow up.
During the public-comment portion of the June 1 meeting, a resident of 127 Mill Road raised two safety concerns: that railroad crossing signals on Asbury Station Road are not working and are obscured by overgrowth, and that high school students have been driving recklessly on Garwin Road near Mill Road.
Committeewoman Williams moved to open the floor to public comment; the resident reported the two issues and the committee directed the administrator to contact rail authorities about the crossing signals and to explore crossing bars. The committee also instructed the police chief to address the reported reckless driving. Deputy Mayor Nocentino seconded motions to open and close the floor and the public-comment period concluded with no further speakers.
The minutes record the committee’s directions as immediate follow-up steps but do not include details of any timeline or specific remedies the administrator or police chief will pursue. The Garwin Road traffic study is set for discussion on July 20, 2026, where further traffic-calming measures could be considered.
