Summary

The Town of Web board asked Herkimer County to conduct a speed study for Southshore Road, a county-owned roadway running from the town professional office building to the Herkimer–Hamilton county line. The motion to request the study noted safety concerns due to increased bicycle and pedestrian use, and board members asked that the county schedule the study during the peak season (summer) rather than in the fall when visitor numbers decline.
Board discussion clarified that the county coordinates with New York State Police to perform studies and that the county would bear the direct cost. Members said the study previously occurred about five years ago and that an updated study is timely given changes in usage. The motion passed on a roll-call vote with all members voting in favor.
