Description
The new white lines at the intersection of country way creates too tight of a turn for cars or trucks coming into the neighborhood. It’s never been an issue in the 4 years we have been living here and we are not sure why the white lined area needs to be so large. Hoping it doesn’t create more of a problem

Hello, several neighborhood residents came before the Traffic Management Advisory Committee several months ago requesting that the Town consider options to slow vehicles and improve the existing stop at this location. The petitioners told committee members that the wide open Y section of Country Way allows vehicles to speed and is a safety concern for children and parents crossing the street to and from a school bus stop.
The markings placed is one of several options under consideration and is a pilot to observe traffic flow. The cones placed on the road were to protect the fresh paint and they have been removed.
