Cedarville leaders address traffic issues at key intersections during public meeting

Plymouth's Committee of Precinct Chairs convened on February 20, 2025, to address pressing community issues, including public comment protocols and significant traffic concerns in Cedarville.

A key discussion centered around the rules governing public comments during meetings. Members debated the appropriate time limits for speakers, with suggestions ranging from a minimum of two minutes to a maximum of two minutes. The committee acknowledged the need for clarity on these rules, particularly regarding how they align with Robert's Rules of Order. This conversation highlighted the importance of structured public engagement in local governance.

In addition to procedural matters, the committee addressed urgent traffic issues affecting Cedarville. Precinct Chair Mr. McKay raised alarms about severe congestion at the intersections of Hedges Pond Road and Route 3A, as well as Route 3 and Route 3A. He emphasized that these intersections, connected by Herring Pond Road—a state road—have posed safety concerns for residents for years. McKay's call to action reflects a growing urgency among community leaders to seek solutions for these traffic challenges.

The meeting concluded with an invitation for further discussion on new business, signaling the committee's commitment to addressing community needs proactively. As the committee moves forward, residents can expect continued dialogue on both procedural improvements and critical infrastructure issues that impact daily life in Plymouth.
