Residents urge corridor study reconvening and warn of ebike safety risks
Summary
During public comment Suzanne Lubbock and Cathy Doyle urged reconvening the corridor study committee to identify quick fixes such as striping and speeding mitigation; Cathy highlighted ebike safety concerns, saying she prays daily that someone isn't killed due to irresponsible riding.
During the privilege of the floor, public commenters asked the Board to revive the corridor study committee or at least review previously produced findings to identify quick actions. Suzanne Lubbock asked about dates for strategic meetings; the First Selectman said those sessions will likely be held after contract negotiations and staff capacity improve in July.
Cathy Doyle, who provided her name and address, said she would like to reconvene the corridor study to identify quick fixes that could be applied to town roads and expressed concern about ebike safety: "Ebikes are a problem... I just say prayers every day that somebody doesn't get killed because they aren't using them responsibly." Board members agreed some recommendations could be implemented quickly and discussed outreach to prior committee members and stakeholders such as the shade tree and wetlands representatives.
