Resident reports drivers rolling stop signs, urges signage or police presence at Margaret Murphy school
Summary
A resident said he observed drivers rolling stop signs and speeding at the Margaret Murphy school zone, counted 20 cars roll a stop sign during an early pickup, and urged signage or police enforcement; the board will consult the Police Department on coverage.
John Anderson of State Route 149 addressed the Board about safety problems in the Margaret Murphy school zone, saying he counted 20 cars roll through a stop sign during an early parent pick‑up and observed speeding and visibility problems at the crosswalk. He said some teachers commended him for raising the issue.
Anderson recommended increased signage or police presence. Trustee Michael Horrigan said signage would raise awareness and the Board agreed to talk to the Police Department about coverage during school drop‑off and pick‑up times. No formal vote or enforcement action was recorded in the minutes; the item was entered as a public comment and the Board directed staff to consult the Police Department.
