When
is enough going to be enough? Does someone have to die before the
Mayor and Trustees do something about the speeding in Bellport
Village?
It wasn’t always like this. There was a time when
our then Mayor and Trustees cared about the quality of life in the
Village and the lives of the residents. As a start, they erected
signs that left no doubt as to what the speed limit was in the
Village. They also had printed and distributed Bumper Stickers that
also left no doubt about what the speed limit was.
Did these
steps and the ones to follow make a difference? We’ll never know.
There was a change of administrations and Ray Fell, then a Trustee,
had the speed limit signs removed. Why? He said, at a Village Board
Meeting, that the speed limit signs made the Village appear to be
unfriendly.
