Councilor Pena introduced a resolution asking the city to designate John H. Chaffey Boulevard as a school zone (20 mph within 300 feet of school entrances) for the East Bay Community Action Program Newport Head Start and Community College of Rhode Island locations and to review and improve school‑zone warning and directional signage.
The resolution asked the city to coordinate with EBCAP, CCRI, the Newport Police Department and RIDOT on signage and traffic controls and to evaluate whether an additional stop sign or other control is warranted at the Head Start circular drop‑off. Council voted to approve the resolution by voice.
