Staff Contact: Calvin Grow, Transportation Engineer, accepts e-mail on behalf of the Committee.
Meeting Schedule
The committee meets on the first Monday of the month at 7:00 P.M. in the Lower Level Conference Room of Town Hall, except when the first Monday of a month is a holiday or immediately precedes the second Tuesday of the month. Contact Calvin K. Grow, P.E. of the Public Works Department to confirm the meeting date, place and time. Citizens and members of the press are encouraged to attend the meetings.
The committee concentrates largely on pedestrian safety and traffic calming measure tools which attempt to slow traffic within residential communities with minimal or no restriction to access. The Traffic Calming Program will be initiated upon complaint of speeding (average speed is 31 m.p.h. or greater) in a residential neighborhood, request for $200.00 add-on penalties for speeding in a neighborhood, or when traffic calming measures are requested by one or more residents of a neighborhood or evaluation of the neighborhood for installation of such measures is requested by the Town Council.
The program consists of sequential phases:
- Document speeding problem
- Community awareness and education
- Selective enforcement
- Non-physical devices (increased fines)
- Physical devices
Each phase of the program is evaluated for effectiveness.
The committee considers cut-through traffic restrictions, multi-way stop sign policies, through truck restrictions, 'Watch for Children' signs and the promotion of efficient transportation systems. The committee is also currently studying various traffic calming projects in each of the Town's quadrants to be considered by the Town Council for approval.
