Council questions focus on Main Road North site near schools for pilot
Summary
Council members pressed staff on why the pilot would be sited near a less-used crosswalk by the schools rather than higher-foot-traffic locations such as Constitution Avenue, asking for the VPI tally and pedestrian-use data.
Several council members objected to the chosen location for the proposed traffic-calming pilot, saying alternative locations in town appeared to have more pedestrian activity. Matt said staff—not the consultant—chose the crossing near the schools and asked why Constitution Avenue or the pool site were not prioritized.
Staff and the consultant said the VPI process informed the selection and that the chief recommended the school-area location to slow traffic approaching the schools. Council members requested the VPI vote tallies and comparative data on the other candidate locations so they could understand why this site was advanced.
