Overview: The Town has not officially updated its traffic calming policy since 2002, and current practices do not match the existing policy. The proposed policy aligns with current Vision Zero efforts to enhance safety and make it simpler for the public to provide feedback. The new policy updates the process for requesting traffic calming, outlines available options, and allow staff to make updates going forward.

Recommendation(s): |
That the Council adopt a resolution to approve the Town’s Traffic Calming Policy.
• Fiscal Impact/Resources: No fiscal impacts are expected beyond current Town activities.
