- What: residents of Westport Rd. (near no. 10) asked, through Satya B. Mitra, for "Go Slow, Children Playing" signs because of speeding, including school buses.
- Where it stands: the sign petition was filed 2-0 on 2026-07-22 (such signs are no longer permitted); a chairman's order asking the Superintendent to have school bus drivers slow down was adopted by the Council 9-0 on 2026-08-18.
- Next: a speed study and possible speed humps or small traffic circles if the neighborhood petitions.
Details
- Residents: children bike and walk to bus stops; a neighbor wanted a memo to the school bus committee.
- Stephen S. Rolle: generic child-presence signs were pulled from the federal manual because drivers did not slow down; speed humps have been the quickest tool.
- Tony Economou proposed the school bus order.
