During public comment, resident Maggie Ewald described repeated crashes at the s-curve on Route 87 and stressed the importance of following meeting procedure; the committee acknowledged the safety concern and referenced related correspondence about speed cameras.
Resident Maggie Ewald of 47 Route 87 addressed the committee during the public-comment period, detailing repeated accidents at the s-curve on Route 87 and asking the committee to consider safety measures. Ewald also emphasized meeting procedure, saying it is important to follow Robert's Rules.
The committee had previously discussed enforcement options and possible engineering changes for Route 87 during its Old Business agenda items, and members noted correspondence from several citizens and committee members urging consideration of speed cameras and a roundabout. Chair Ferris asked the Town Administrator to confirm follow-up actions and communications with state and regional partners.
Ewald's remarks were the only public comment recorded at the July 15 meeting; the committee recorded correspondence from Justin Riendeau, Jaycie Anderson, James Locke, and Olivia Evans regarding automated enforcement and the roundabout proposal.
