Traffic committee weighs speed bump, 15 mph residential limit and stop signs
Summary
The Traffic Advisory Committee is considering adding a speed bump on Thomas Ave., lowering residential speed limits to 15 mph (including Cimarron Rd. behind Mother Goose Land), and adding stop signs at every intersection on Franklin St.; the proposals are under evaluation.
The council heard Traffic Advisory Committee recommendations that would change traffic-calming measures on several town streets. Committee members discussed placing a speed bump on Thomas Ave. to deter cut-through traffic, reducing residential speed limits to 15 mph — a change that would include Cimarron Rd. behind Mother Goose Land — and installing stop signs at each intersection along Franklin St.
No formal vote was taken and councilors left the proposals under committee review and further consideration. Public works staff noted equipment limitations for some maintenance tasks, which councilors said should factor into timing and implementation of any traffic-control changes.
