During a recent government meeting, council members expressed concerns regarding traffic safety, particularly on Washington Avenue and Route 6. One member highlighted Washington Avenue as a more dangerous area compared to West Siri, citing lower traffic levels on Route 6 as a contributing factor to safety issues.

The council unanimously passed a motion, with one dissenting vote from Mrs. Spernowski. Upcoming committee meetings were announced, including a session on July 22, 2024, to discuss the Silver Hills preliminary development plan and the proposed Harbor Walk plat.

Council members also took a moment to recognize local residents, including Mrs. Whitaker and her son, who attended the meeting as part of an Eagle Scout project. The council expressed appreciation for community involvement and offered support for their endeavors.

In a discussion about road safety, several members emphasized the need for improved signage along Route 6 to alert drivers to potential hazards. Concerns were raised about the effectiveness of current signage, with suggestions for more visible warnings to prevent accidents. Members noted that many drivers may not be aware of changes in traffic patterns, underscoring the importance of proactive measures to enhance public safety.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to addressing community concerns and improving infrastructure to ensure the safety of residents and visitors alike.
