Select Board seeks speed data and sheriff enforcement for School Street
Summary
Board members asked staff to collect speed-table cost estimates and to request targeted sheriff enforcement on School Street; they agreed to get monthly enforcement reports to quantify tickets and warnings.
Concerned residents and board members pressed for action to reduce speeding on School Street. The board agreed to gather cost information for speed tables and to request a focused enforcement period from the sheriff’s department.
One member argued, "We need some cops on School Street," emphasizing a return to periodic enforcement and the value of measurable monthly sheriff reports. Another member urged combined measures — enforcement, signage, and traffic-calming (narrowing and tree plantings). The board asked staff to collect engineering estimates and to request speed enforcement for a two-week focused period as a test.
