WHITE COMMISSIONER Dear Mrs. Terry: Town Speed Limits - Lau~hin~ Waters~ Southold Your March 26, 1986 Letter We have reviewed the Town's request to lower the speed limit in the community of Laughing Waters. This area is presently included in a 35 MPH area speed which covers a portion of Southold and the Great Hog Neck Peninsula. The area of Laughing Waters is~ a residential community and is no different in character from the residential communities of Cedar Beach and Bayview which are also on the Great Hog Neck Peninsula. We, therefore, are not recommending that the Laughing Waters area be separated from the existing 35 MPH area speed limit. Our inspection of the Laughing Waters area did indicate the need for additional speed li~[t signing. We feel the Town could provide 35 MPH speed limit signs on Nokomis Road south of Bay Water Road and south of Hiawatha's Path for southbound traffic. For northbound traffic on Nokomis Road, a 35 MPH speed limit sign could be installed north of Minnehaha Boulevard; for northbound traffic on Hiawatha's Path a 35 MPH sign could be installed north of Minnehaha Boulevard. The Town may also consider signing three 90 degree turns in the Laughing Water community. One curve is where Nokomis Road and Minnehaha Boulevard Join. A second is on Hiawatha's Path and the third is on Minnehaha Boulevard. If the Town wished to determine an appropriate warning speed for the placing of a speed warning panel under the curve warning sign, arrangements may be made with our office for the police department to borrow a Ball Bank Indicator. We trust this information is sufficient for the Town Board. Very truly you~ Regional ~,~ fic Engineer TCH:DP: JS cc: Chief H. Daniel Winters J UDITlt T.
