Trustees praise winter cleanup, urge enforcement after drivers run stop signs
Summary
Trustee Fawcett thanked highway crews for snow and sidewalk clearing and warned of repeated pedestrian-safety incidents, pressing for police activity in the village; trustees also planned a traffic study and new 25 mph signs.
Trustee Fawcett told the Brightwaters Village Board that village crews "have done an amazing job" clearing streets and sidewalks after recent snow, including cold-patching work, and thanked Mike and the highway crew for their efforts.
Fawcett also raised safety concerns, saying she frequently sees residents "go right through stop signs" and reported at least one near-miss involving a child; she urged increased police activity in the village to address dangerous driving.
Trustee Pettit said new 25 mph speed-limit signs will be installed on March 1 and that a village traffic study is planned for April to assess speed and safety; the board discussed further traffic protections pending study results.
