· Site line at the bottom of Bowhay Hill is still an issue. Per Chief Gill, the stop sign is in the correct location. Dan will write a letter to thank Chief Gill for taking time to review the issue.
The issue of more parking spaces between the Stony Creek Market and the beach was discussed. On behalf of the Police & Traffic Committee, Dan presented a diagram of the area showing existing parking spaces, reviewed the situation and their recommendations. A motion was made and seconded and carried to make recommendations to the Police Commissioners for: four (4) new parking spaces, proper signing, and painting of lines as follows: 2 spaces added to the northwest side of the SCMarket curve, one space added to the southwest side of the SCMarket curve, one space added to the south end of the beach; 3 existing spaces to be designated as compact car spaces, two across from, one northwest of the entrance to the Stony Creek Boating Association; 12 hour and 2 hour parking signs on Indian Point Road signed correctly; an additional crosswalk north of the beach, and other details on the west side of the beach; one (1) new crosswalk on the north end of the beach; and a fourth (4th) stop sign at Thimble Islands Road.
It was suggested that more support be given to the Dock Master covering the beach and dock area. She was commended on the fine job she did covering the activity and the flow of heavy traffic. The officer suggested that the hours be extended to include late September and October because of the increase in tourism. A motion was made, seconded and carried to ask the Police Commissioners to extend the Doc Master’s hours to include the month of September.
A resident on Thimble Islands Road suggested that consideration should be made
to those residents bordering the property lines of the dock. Issues are changes
to the dock area such as placing signs on existing structures and/or putting
up new structures.
