thanks for having me here I'm Steve Meese I live with 2361 North Wilson Road and I'm here to talk about the project that popped up in my basically my front yard this morning they started installing the speed table right on the my southern property line they've got half of it installed I guess I'm here to just sort of talk about already I mean two hours they've got half of it one lane installed the noise and the level of noise that's increased in just the time since they've done that one lane is brought me here tonight during all the traffic studies that were done and the scoping and all the meetings that were held here that I've attended at no point was it ever indicated or implied that they were going to put a speed table at that point on the maps which I have copies of they were all down past the railroad tracks or they were up on the top you know by the cemetery so I'm just I just here to sort of go on the record that I feel like it's a bad place it's very loud it increases you know it really is impacting already my you know quality of life in my house you know I sat on the front porch today watching it and when the trucks go over rumbles one truck went over so hard that the back door went up and a fruit tray flew out and planted in the middle of the road which he then had to stop and come back and get anybody with a trailer it's a complete rattle loud rattle and most concerning for even just the average car is that right in front of my house directly is an acceleration point that's where you know when you come over a speed table you've slowed down and you take off you know to you know I think average out your speed so you know considering the level of mufflers in Vermont it's it's really of concern so I'm just here to sort of go on the record I'd love to see a reconsideration of its placement especially since I mean there was no indication there was no notice in the town or anything that we were going to be you know that was the placement of it as a follow-up to the traffic study so in my understanding from talking to the road crew and I spoke to Bruce Bruce whore this afternoon who very kindly listened to my concerns and I you know I don't want to be the nimby guy or in this case the not in my front yard guy but it just it feels like the wrong place for it to be and it might my understanding is they're going to put one up by the cemetery on North Wilson Road as you know if anything perhaps do it there and get people used to the fact that there's some sort of speed bump or traffic calming coming into it and getting used to that rather than doing it in front of my house I mean I ask the town manager to talk to Bruce about the the placement and to see if there's anything that we can can be done just as a question is there any reason why that wasn't done going like down the hill I mean I know right where Steve's house is and there's like three houses right in a row there I'm surprised that it was put there as well and I can't remember the what the scoping study and what we agreed upon where the locations were didn't seem to be like it was down that far but I don't have the maps that were in the scoping study if you would give those to Rick or we would probably have those any way up to public works now to take a look at it and see whether it's been done right or not what was your understanding of given what my understanding was that they were they were looking at putting in three speed tables from the bridge to the railroad tracks like the Chapman Lane and then the only thing that was indicated from the railroad tracks to this bottom of the hill there was a welcome Williston sign to sort of indicate that this is a neighborhood and to slow things down they were also looking at putting speed table just down from a fontane lane where you go to the sandpit and then there was it appears to be one more down maybe closer there's another one I'm not sure which the house that's sort of on the curve there so I mean watching traffic patterns just for afternoon seeing the way people drive you know they rush up to it and then they slow down there's a psychology to it they either like creep over it and then take off or they just kind of keep going or there's a couple people who just like you know I don't care I'm just going to go but it does kind of back up the traffic as you you know especially in the rush hour tonight you know you have five or six cars coming one slows down and they all kind of slow down and so it might create an issue on the curves to you know if you're coming down the hill you know to all of a sudden coming to a line of cars are slowing down for a speed bump so that might not be the best place for it either so there's no easy solution but I hope you will reconsider or at least look into the choices that have been made so far we will appreciate it thanks any other person who wishes make any public comment on any issue tonight if not then we'll move on to the by law violations
