High Park/Main Street right-turn-on-red sight distance
A resident reports cars creeping past the stop bar can't see Main Street traffic because of a brick wall, trees and a curve. The town can't act on a state road, so it referred the issue to NYSDOT.

Palmdale Drive and Neighborhood Speeding & Cut-Through Traffic
Residents on Aegean Avenue and Waterway Lane report speeding and non-compliant stop behavior, but federal warrant data — speeds and volumes — fell short on both streets, and the town still lacks a policy for speed humps, which the highway department opposes for snow removal.
