Trustees discuss new stop signs and consider adding one on Clinton Street after members describe near-miss
Summary
Trustees praised recent stop-sign installations for increasing driver awareness, discussed enforcement challenges and considered placing a stop sign at Clinton Street near village offices after a board member described a close call involving a parked car door and a passing vehicle.
Board members discussed recent stop-sign installations, driver behavior and possible next steps, including installing a stop sign at Clinton Street across from the village and town offices.
One committee member described a near-miss while a family member was unloading a car: "Some guy, I swear to god, came inches from her door," the member said, arguing that although the new signs improve awareness, enforcement and whether to add additional signs remain open questions. Chair and other members noted they had discussed traffic-calming measures previously and opted to monitor how the new signs perform in neighboring communities before adding measures locally. The board did not adopt a formal motion to add the Clinton Street sign during this meeting; the issue remained under consideration.
