Residents urge action on Route 20 speed; board to add signs and crosswalks
Summary
Public commenters raised concerns about high speeds on Route 20 and requested crosswalks and signage; Mayor Valente said the village will repair or replace a sign, add more signage and install a crosswalk near the library and town hall.
A resident told the board that —just the speed on Route 20 again, you know, morning and at 04:00, it's pretty high,— and asked the board to address safety along that corridor.
Mayor Robert Valente acknowledged the concern and said the village will repair or obtain a new sign at the east approach to slow traffic and will consider adding more signs around the village. Valente also described plans to add a crosswalk at the library from town hall across the street and to extend sidewalks past the school toward Cooper's Place.
The board discussed that sidewalks, curbing and drainage will be part of the larger streets and sidewalk project, and that some elements may be delayed pending state right-of-way work. No separate motion was recorded specifically to add traffic enforcement or immediate crosswalk construction during the meeting.
