Approval of Minutes: Motion made to accept the minutes of the 10/01/2007 Traffic
Commission meeting as is by Commissioner Blank, seconded by Commissioner
Brackman. All in favor.
Report to Commission: Traffic tubes are still not operational at this time. Replacement
parts were ordered by Chief Austin on 11/16/2007.
Old Business: Due to the fact that the traffic tubes are not operational at this time the
Rye Brook Police Department has been unable to conduct a survey of Bellefair Blvd as
requested. Concerns have been raised about the speed of vehicles traveling on Bellefair
Blvd and a possible dangerous situation for vehicles attempting to enter the traffic flow
from Legendary Circle. If manpower allows the police department will attempt to place a
patrol vehicle at this location to observe the situation and document their findings.
New Business:
1- A resident of Bonwit Rd, in the Village of Rye Brook, stated a concern for local
children and pedestrians due to vehicles failing to use the designated side of the
roadway while traveling around the blind turn. The commission addressed this
request and believes that due to the fact that this was a single complainant and
that there have been no accidents or incidents at this location for over 20 years no
action need be taken at this time.
2- A resident made a request to Commissioner Rednick that the commission look
into putting a stop sign at Acker Dr and Arlington Rd. The corner of Acker Dr
and Arlington Rd is a two way intersection that is more of a curve in the roadway
than a standard intersection. The commission addressed this request, discussed the
situation and location. The commission believes that due to the fact that this was a
single complainant and that there have been no accidents or incidents at this
location for over 20 years no action need be taken at this time.
Meeting adjourned: Motion made by Chairman Appelbaum and seconded by
Commissioner Brackman. Meeting adjourned at 08:30 pm.
Next meeting scheduled: 12/03/2007 at 08:00 pm in the meeting room of Village Hall.
