- What: petition from Khrystian E. King and Robert A. Bilotta (CC item 7c, April 14, 2026) for speed-calming at Plantation St. and Orient St.
- Where it stands: filed 3-0 on 2026-08-31, with a chair's order for 25 mph signs on Plantation St. (adopted 11-0 on 2026-09-08).
- Next: square up the corner at the next resurfacing of Orient St.
Details
- Bilotta: a very long crosswalk at Orient St., poor sight lines and a high-speed right turn that works like an exit ramp.
- Stephen S. Rolle: a January 2024 study found the same; crash history is below average with no crash since. Painted fixes would help little, and a neighbor's driveway sits at the corner. The permanent fix is to tee the intersection to 90 degrees, as done at Russell Street Park.
