Traffic advisory raises localized safety proposals including 15 mph residential limit and new speed bump
Summary
The Traffic Advisory Committee presented options including adding a speed bump on Thomas Ave., possibly lowering residential speed limits to 15 mph (including Cimarron Road), and adding stop signs on Franklin Street. Councilors left the recommendations under consideration pending further review.
Council reviewed recommendations from the Traffic Advisory Committee, discussed potential traffic-calming measures and did not take immediate action. Proposed measures included installing a speed bump on Thomas Avenue to discourage motorists from bypassing Burton Avenue, lowering speed limits on residential streets to 15 mph (a change that would include Cimarron Road behind Mother Goose Land), and installing stop signs at each intersection on Franklin Street.
Councilors requested further study and did not vote on any ordinance or signage changes at this meeting. The items remain under consideration with the Traffic Advisory Committee and town staff to follow up on feasibility, signage requirements and any permitting or legal steps needed to change speed limits.
