Councilors asked the city manager and transportation officials to pursue near‑term speed‑calming and enforcement measures on Salisbury Street after residents reported high volumes and elevated speeds along the corridor.

At the meeting, Councilor Priscilla (recorded as raising the item) thanked city staff for prior work but said Salisbury Street remains dangerous and cited traffic counts and speed data. She told the council the section uphill from Flag Street carries about 10,000 vehicles per day with average speeds of 35 mph and that a segment between Forest and Park carries about 19,000 vehicles per day; she said 15% of drivers exceed 39 mph in the uphill section and 15% exceed 35 mph in the other segment. "People drive really fast and I'm hoping that the city can make some improvements now to make it safer for residents in the meantime," she said.

Councilors asked what short‑term tools were available. The manager said officers could be assigned to patrol the area for enforcement and temporary radar devices could be deployed to try to reduce speeds. Councilor King asked for the number of mobile radar units the city owns; administration said it would confirm the current inventory and provide that information. The council voted to send the request to the manager for further review and to ask the police chief to place speed monitoring on June Street as a related action.

Councilors also discussed longer‑term engineering changes, including a previously approved mini‑rotary at a flagged intersection. The council requested updates on designs and funding for signal or intersection changes. No immediate capital appropriation or permanent engineering measure was approved at the meeting; staff were instructed to report back with enforcement plans, temporary measures and design updates.
