Long Lake asks NYSDOT to study reducing Uncas Road speed limit to 25 mph
Summary
The Board supported a neighborhood request and directed the Town to ask the New York State Department of Transportation to conduct a traffic study on Uncas Road in Raquette Lake to consider lowering the speed limit to 25 mph to improve safety.
By Resolution #15 the Town Board supported a resident request to reduce the maximum speed on Uncas Road in the Raquette Lake area to 25 miles per hour and directed the Town to request that the New York State Department of Transportation conduct a traffic study for that purpose. Motion by Councilman Hosley, seconded by Councilman Dechene; adopted unanimously.
Minutes record that residents along Uncas Road raised concerns about safety and excessive speed; the Board's action requests the formal DOT traffic study as the next procedural step. The resolution does not itself change the posted speed limit — it initiates a state-conducted study that could result in a regulatory change.
