LOCAL LAW #___4__ OF THE YEAR 2000

OF THE TOWN OF WAPPINGER TO DESIGNATE ADDITIONAL FULL STOP
INTERSECTIONS IN THE TOWN OF WAPPINGER."

Wappinger Local Law # 4 of 2000, and entitled "LOCAL LAW AMENDING SECTION
230-43 OF THE CODE OF THE TOWN OF WAPPINGER, TO DESIGNATE
ADDITIONAL FULL STOP INTERSECTIONS IN THE TOWN OF WAPPINGER."
Section II: Legislative Background: Over the years, the Town Board has
received numerous requests from residents of the Kent Road area to address speeding
and the generally poor traffic conditions along Kent Road. In response to the residents'
requests, the Town Board has previously adopted traffic control measures at several
intersections of Kent Road with intersecting streets. The Town Board has previously
made southbound Kent Road at its intersection with Central Avenue and eastbound
Central Avenue at its intersection with Kent Road full stop intersections. Despite the
adoption of the aforementioned stop intersections, the Town Board continued to receive
requests that northbound Kent Road at its intersection with Central Avenue also be made
a full stop intersection. While Highway Superintendent Graham Foster and Engineer to
the Town Joseph E. Paggi, Jr. previously expressed reservations about making
southbound Kent Road at Central Avenue and eastbound Central Avenue at Kent Road
full stop intersections, they now concur that to be consistent that northbound Kent Road at
Central Avenue be made a full stop intersection.

Accordingly, it is the express determination of the Town Board and in the interests
of the travelling public and the public health, safety and welfare of the residents of the
Town of Wappinger to establish a full stop intersection at the following location:
Northbound Kent Road at its intersection with Central Avenue
and that stop signs be erected accordingly.
Section III: Stop Intersections. Section 230-43 of the Code of the Town of
Wappinger entitled "Schedule IX: Stop Intersections" is hereby amended by including, in

or their application to other persons or circumstances. It is hereby declared to be the
legislative intent that this Local Law would have been adopted if such illegal, invalid or
