Transportation Committee -- 09.15.2026

The Transportation Committee of the Town of Penfield held a meeting on September 15, 2026, focusing primarily on local traffic safety and signage issues. Key procurement-related discussions included potential installation of yield signs at Canterbury Trail and Chatworth Circle South to improve sight distance and driver awareness, as well as recommendations to move curve ahead signage on Wayland Road to comply with manual standards. The committee reviewed traffic calming measures such as speed humps and no through traffic signs, ultimately deciding against physical measures on Terrell Drive due to traffic calming analysis results and enforcement limitations. They also discussed the use and potential procurement of speed monitoring equipment, noting plans to acquire a data-collecting speed cart in the 2027 budget to better track traffic speeds and volumes. Updates on completed and ongoing capital projects, such as the Scribner Road resurfacing, were provided. The committee also addressed procedural improvements to streamline the addition of stop signs and other traffic control devices through resolutions rather than lengthy local law amendments. No formal votes on contracts or budget allocations were recorded, but several action items related to signage adjustments and equipment procurement were identified.
