DUMMERSTON — At its Oct. 30 meeting, the Selectboard considered and denied resident Jennifer Sargent's request to reduce the speed limit on Sugar House Road from 35 to 25 miles per hour.
An early-morning delivery truck is known to speed in the area, they said, then concluded the matter might best be referred to the sheriff's department.
Member Lewis White was the first to say he didn't think the speed limit change was necessary.
“We're going to get requests on all roads. There's probably somebody in here right now who would love to have their road at 25 [mph],” he said.
Board Chairman Zeke Goodband agreed: “Is it going to get people to start slowing down? I'm skeptical that a sign will do that.”
