COLCHESTER â The majority of Tuesday nightâs meeting was spent discussing the speed limit on East Lakeshore Drive. Three Colchester citizens were vocal in their concerns about the safety of the current 30 miles per hour speed limit.
Director of Public Works Bryan Osborne, introduced the discussion along with Police Chief Doug Allen. Osborne said Public Works is evaluating the speed limit on East Lakeshore Drive and a request to lower it from 30 mph to 25 mph, which is the lowest speed a public roadway can be set to in Vermont.
âThe establishment of speed limits is not a political process, it s not a community consensus process, itâs a traffic and engineering process,â said Osborne.
