Kenney's Beach Civic Association
The Kenney's Beach Civic Association's request for a speed limit reduction to 20 MPH along
Leeton, West, North Sea and Lake Drives was discussed during our monthly meeting on August
22. The Commission does not concur with this request.
Following a lengthy discussion, it was concluded that traffic along these streets emanates largely
from area residents who know extant mad conditions and the need for caution, particularly with
respect to pedestrians/cyclists going to and from the beaches.
With respect to concerns regarding home frontage by native beach bushes/trees and blind
driveway areas, the Commission reiterates that Town roads including fights of way measure 50
feet. The Highway Department would clear any encroachments on both sides of these roads to
facilitate sighting distances upon written request by the Association.
Should the Town Board concur with this approach, enclosed please fmd a draft memorandum to
the Superintendent of Highways to this effect.
