Board adopts Local Law 6-2025 to add stop signs near Walker Beach and other intersections
Summary
Brightwaters adopted Local Law 6-2025, adding designated stop intersections (including West Shore Road at Mayway/Bayway) after public comments about child safety near Walker Beach and discussion of three-way stops versus speed humps.
The Brightwaters village board voted to adopt Local Law 6-2025 to add stop signs at designated intersections, a measure the board said aims to reduce vehicle speeds and improve safety near Walker Beach and local parks.
During the hearing, Chair read the proposed amendments to the traffic code and listed specific locations, including West Shore Road at Mayway and Bayway. A resident suggested placing stop signs at park entrances to force vehicles to stop, and board members debated three-way stops versus speed humps as alternative traffic calming measures. Chair moved the law for adoption; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote ('Aye').
Board members referenced a traffic study that cited vehicle counts on several streets (for example, North Windsor at about 5,000 vehicles per day and Orinoco at about 4,000), and discussed vendor bids for speed-hump installations. The law as adopted lists the intersections to be added to Section 119; the board also directed staff to follow up on implementation logistics and signage placement.
