Resident urges town to add traffic control as speeders return on West 2nd Avenue
Summary
At the June 24 council meeting Tom Doran asked the council to install traffic control at the town line to slow returning speeders on West 2nd Avenue; Doug Irvine also urged civic participation. Council did not take immediate action on the request.
Tom Doran used the council's public comment period to raise a renewed speeding concern on West 2nd Avenue and asked the town to act. "He requested some form of traffic control be placed on the town line to try and have the speeders slow down in the residential area," the minutes record. Doran thanked Mayor Smith and council members for their work while urging the town to revisit prior traffic-mitigation steps.
Doug Irvine followed, praising Mayor Smith's written guidelines for proclamations and offering to act as a voice for residents who cannot attend meetings. "He encouraged everyone to use their voice and if they can't he would like to be a voice for them," the minutes say. The council did not vote or direct staff to prepare a specific traffic-control measure at that meeting; no formal referral or timeline for action was recorded.
