Fenwick Lowers Side Street Speed Limit
By JOANNE SHRINER
STAFF WRITER
FENWICK ISLAND – As a result of recommendations passed forward by a new Parking Committee, the speed limit on all side streets through Fenwick Island will become 15 mph, and the town is researching a right-of-way survey to stripe available parking on bayside streets. The first Parking Committee meeting was held a couple of weeks ago when members passed forward a couple of favorable recommendations to the Town Council for consideration. Last Friday, City Manager Merritt Burke announced the Parking Committee recommended extending parking striping and signage to the bayside side streets. “Essentially the parking committee recommended approving the
hiring of a contractor to stripe the bayside, and I believe at that meeting they were interested in all eastwest side streets and some northsouth,” Burke said. Burke has met with two striping contractors who both estimated the project to be a little over $5,000. “If you do approve this … I think it would be prudent that we conduct a right-of-way survey, so we know the exact width of all the streets where we can stripe for cars to park instead of intruding on private property,” he said. Burke pointed out that it is his understanding Delmarva Power light poles mark the right-of-way line, which would make it easier in conducting a survey. During the survey, Mayor Audrey Serio requested property owner’s trash containers and landscaping be moved out of the town’s right-of-
way. “While we are doing it, we need to get everything where it should be. We need to look at the issue because it will be a problem once we start this,” she said. Councilman Todd Smallwood warned the mayor such a request of homeowners would open a whole new proverbial can of worms. “You can look at the issue but you can’t back that onto this as far as bringing it onto the homeowners,” he said. Smallwood questioned what brought the concept on to stripe available parking spaces on the bayside streets. Council Secretary Diane Tingle responded cars have become a nuisance in blocking trash containers at times of collections as well as driveways. SEE NEXT PAGE
