A public hearing has been scheduled in Saugerties, New York, to discuss a proposal to lower the village's speed limit. The hearing, set for September 16 at 5:30 p.m., will take place in the R.A. Snyder Hose Company No. 1 meeting room on Partition Street. The proposal under consideration would reduce the speed limit from the current 30 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour on all streets within the village.
Supporters of the proposal believe that the reduction in speed limit would enhance road safety for drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists alike. The topic was first raised last month and has since been a subject of discussion among the village residents. The upcoming public hearing will provide an opportunity for community members to voice their opinions and concerns about the proposed change. According to the Daily Freeman, further details about the proposal will be discussed during the hearing.
