V. Legal Traffic Authority Businessoctober 18, 2010 Special Meeting
- Workshop – Bicycle Safety / Intermodal Transportation
Kathy Connolly, the Chairman of the Bikeways Committee gave a presentation to the Commission on Bicycle Safety. She thanked the Commission for allowing the committee to make this presentation tonight. She expresses that there has never been any question within the Bikeway Committee that the Police Commission is the legal traffic authority in the town of Old Saybrook; there was only a question about what that actually meant. They were given inaccurate information that has now been cleared up. The only question they had pertained to painting of land lines, never the Commission’s authority. Ms. Connolly stated they need to look into the accident data that the Chief had gathered and their committee will be making recommendations to the Selectmen by December 15, 2010. Chairman Burnham stated that the
Commission cannot act until they have been presented with these recommendations; she stated the Commission will take everything into consideration when the time comes. Ms. Connolly feels that having Commissioner Zemienieski involved with the committee is a great asset and she thanked him for attending the meetings. Chairman Burnham thanked her for making the presentation.
