Selectboard weighs mobile vs. fixed traffic monitoring unit using law-enforcement funds
Summary
The Selectboard discussed using law-enforcement funds to buy either a fixed or mobile traffic monitoring unit and asked a member to research pricing; the choice will depend on a town survey and which option provides the most useful data.
The Selectboard discussed options for spending law-enforcement funds on traffic monitoring equipment. Trish Waugh outlined that the decision to purchase a mobile or fixed unit should be informed by the results of a town survey and by what would best help the town target areas that need attention. Chair Tim McGowan emphasized the utility of objective data in focusing enforcement and traffic-calming efforts.
Selectboard member Ken Stockman agreed to research pricing and availability of both fixed and mobile units and report back at the next regular meeting. No purchase decision was made; the board left the item for further study pending survey results and Ken’s research.
