2. Rational speed limits: Should there be many different changes to be noticed and have hearings
on or should the entire town except#25 and #48 have 30 MPH? Please review the Color coded
map Dan emailed. Note that between 48 and 25,Alvah's and Bridge are 30 MPH while Depot Ln,
Cox, Elijah's and Aldrich are 40MPH.Also note the couple of 35 MPH and the random nature of the
communities that have 35MPH while most are 30MPH.
3. Soundview Motel: The County gave the owners the specifications for street lighting so they can
submit a plan to light the dark crosswalks. Update?
4. Charging Stations. Next steps on electric vehicle fire safety: Chris will email Randy an E2 exec
who might give us technical information. Good to find someone who can speak to battery safety
also. Regarding stations: Sarah mentioned a Downtown Revitalization grant, https:

and-Downtown-Development/Downtown-Revitalization the deadline is mid-May. Sarah suggested
coming up with a town-wide plan for where they could be located so we can be ready to apply for
