Bayside Street Parking Study Tabled Until Cost Is Known FROM PAGE 8 Councilman William Weistling pointed out a cost estimate for a right-of-way survey still needed to be brought to the table before the council could move forward with a decision. Tingle made a motion to table the discussion until staff conducts further research on costs associated with a survey of right-of-ways as well as work with Delmarva Power over the issue. The council voted unanimously to approve the motion. The second item passed forward by the Parking Committee was the recommendation to reduce the speed limit on all side streets to 15 mph. “There are some inaccuracies in town where some streets are 15 mph and some streets are 25 mph. I did some research and I could not find out why that was done,” Chief William Boyden said. “I think over the years as the streets were developed and new houses were going in the sign was just put up. I think all the streets in Fenwick, besides Coastal Highway, be 15 mph throughout the town.” The chief is currently on the search for a source of funding to purchase battery-powered speed equipment that can be moved from one location to another in town to capture motorist speed. The police department applied for a grant through State Farm Insurance to cover the cost of $2,500 for the unit. “This will not only alert you are speeding but will also capture data so that we can go to homeowners, or the person who makes a complaint and confirm there is a problem in the immediate area and we can focus on enforcement, or no we don’t have a problem with speeding,” Boyden said. Serio used South Bethany as an example where speed limits signs are posted at the entrance of the area notifying the speed limit is 20 mph on all streets throughout the town. “That would help save from having to post multiple signs on a street,” she said. Vice Mayor Gene Langan made a motion to approve the speed limit reduction to have all streets in Fenwick be uniform at 15 mph and to purchase new speed limit signs to be posted where needed. The council voted unanimously to approve the motion. The next Parking Committee meeting is scheduled for Oct. 10 at 10 a.m. in Town Hall.
