Brightwaters adopts Local Law 2026 on stop-sign designations after resident petition on speed
Summary
After a public hearing and resident petition, the Brightwaters board adopted Local Law 2026 to amend stop-sign designations; residents urged speed bumps and other traffic-calming measures as part of the discussion.
The Brightwaters Village Board opened a public hearing on Local Law 2026, which amends stop-sign designations, and later adopted the measure by voice vote. The law follows resident concerns about traffic safety on neighborhood corners and sets the village to update signage as specified in the ordinance.
Resident Chris Kaiser, who said he lives at 34 Brooklyn Boulevard, told the board the earlier speed-bump pilot had shifted traffic and that delivery drivers often fail to stop. "I'm for the stop sign, but I think we need a speed bump," he said, urging the board to consider additional calming measures rather than only moving the problem one block. The board said it will review speed-bump effectiveness block by block and assess resident petitions as part of implementing the new signage.
