LOCAL LAW NO.7 OF THE YEAR 2009
A Local Law entitled "Local Law No. 7 of the Year 2009, Designating a Full Stop
Intersection at the Westerly Intersection of Soccerfield Drive and Regency Drive."
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger as follows:
Section I: Title:
This Local Law shall be known and cited as Town of Wappinger "Local Law No. 7 of the
Year 2009, Designating a Full Stop Intersection at the Westerly Intersection of Soccerfield Drive
and Regency Drive", which shall amend the present Vehicles and Traffic Code, as set forth
below.
Section II: Ley-islative Intent:
Residents of Regency Drive, Lawn Place and Cloverdale Place have alerted the Town to a
potentially hazardous traffic situation at the intersection of Soccerfield Drive and Regency Drive.
Recently, Supervisor Christopher J. Colsey received a letter dated August 5, 2009, signed by the
residents, requesting a stop sign be installed at the westerly intersection of Soccerfield Drive and
Regency Drive. The Town Highway Superintendent concurred in this request and has
recommended the installation of a stop sign on Soccerfield Drive at its westerly intersection with
Regency Drive.
After due consideration, the Town Board determined that it is in the best interest of the
citizens of the Town of Wappinger to revise the Town's Vehicles and Traffic Code §23043
"Schedule IX: Stop Intersections" to designate the westerly intersection of Soccerfield Drive at its
intersection with Regency Drive as a full stop intersection.
Section III: Stop Intersection:
The Town of Wappinger Code §230-43 is hereby amended by alphabetically inserting into
"Schedule IX: Stop Intersections" the following designated full stop intersection:
