Dear Residents of Westville,
Town of Westville is planning to install a three-way stop, aiming to address speeding concerns. While the intention behind this measure is understandable, it is essential to consider its broader implications. The additional stop signs will likely hinder traffic flow and contribute to increased vehicle idling, which exacerbates global climate change.
As a potential candidate for the Town Council, I am committed to maintaining the efficiency and quality of life in our town. If elected, I will propose the removal of the three-way stop. Evidence suggests that speeding is not a significant issue on Cowan Street, with insufficient instances to justify such a measure. A more effective solution could involve periodic police patrols to address any isolated speeding incidents.
This community deserves thoughtful and practical solutions that reflect our actual needs. Let us work together to ensure that any changes genuinely benefit Westville and its residents.
Sincerely, Matthew Luke Stewart
