Residents press trustees on speeding, stop‑sign confusion and enforcement; some urge concentrated police action over physical traffic calming

Residents used the public‑comment segment to raise multiple neighborhood concerns about traffic safety, code enforcement and business operations in Brightwaters. Topics included recurring speeding on Lombardi and Potter Boulevards, controversial use of temporary slow signs placed by residents, and an incident between a resident and code enforcement that prompted disagreement about appropriate responses.

One resident said he used a temporary slow sign to slow drivers and described a confrontation with enforcement; another said, “A stop sign isn't actually supposed to make you stop. It's supposed to make you think and make a decision,” reflecting local debate about the efficacy of signage versus concentrated enforcement. Speakers urged the board to pursue concentrated enforcement efforts with the police, suggested camera enforcement at stop signs could be considered in the future, and debated whether speed bumps or stronger enforcement would be more effective.

Other commenters raised noise and operating concerns about a restaurant/food‑truck site with outdoor music and late‑night activity and asked the board to check what permits the business holds with the town. Board members urged residents to forward detailed complaints and documentation so staff can investigate and coordinate with town or county authorities where required.
