Residents urge action on school‑zone safety, praise visioning session
Summary
During public comment residents raised safety concerns at a school‑adjacent four‑way stop where e‑bikes and sidewalk riding endanger children, and several speakers praised the recent town visioning session and urged continued civic engagement.
Residents used the public‑comment period to press for attention to neighborhood safety and to reflect on the town's recent visioning session.
Catherine Skirvin (1307 South Winds Drive) described dangerous activity at a four‑way stop near a school, saying riders of e‑bikes and others use the sidewalk and pass stopped school buses. "It's a sidewalk, not bike walk," Skirvin told the council and asked the police chief for enforcement and offered to provide bus numbers for follow‑up. Anne Marie Joyce, who attended the visioning session, praised the exercise and summarized key takeaways: maintenance and accountability, police staffing needs described by the assistant chief, and reminders about the town's form of government and the need for resident engagement.
Council members thanked residents for participating, and staff said they would follow up on bus enforcement and safety checks in the area.
