The following Resolution was introduced by Councilwoman Bettina and seconded by
Councilman Johnston.
WHEREAS, residents have alerted Town officials to potentially hazardous traffic
situations at uncontrolled intersections in the Fleetwood Subdivision; and
WHEREAS, the Engineer to the Town has investigated these locations and has
recommended, based on its engineering judgment that the installation of stop signs in seven
locations is appropriate to control the traffic in the Fleetwood Subdivision; and
WHEREAS, the Town Superintendent of Highways has concurred in this
recommendation; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board reviewed the recommendations of the Engineer to the
Town and the Highway Superintendent, and examined the facts and circumstances; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board has 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 to create seven new
stop intersections in the Fleetwood Subdivision; and

Action under SEQRA pursuant to 6 NYCRR 617.5(c)(16);
