Special Events Review Committee Meeting Motor Cycle week summary. The Committee as well as Charlie St Clair and Jennifer Anderson discussed the 2023 Motorcycle week event. Scott informed the group of a complaint received on July 5th regarding Centenary Ave. and also Scenic Rd. where the issue is traffic and motorcycles using higher than allowed rates of speed and the danger this causes to the public and foot traffic. In the discussion talks of different routes were had and ultimately found that the current traffic set ups for Motorcycle week are working and any change could bottle neck alternate routes leading to heavy traffic congestion. Officer Noyes talked about certain traffic areas where burnouts, wheelies, and etc. .etc. are taking place Such as the intersections of Roller Coaster Rd and Endicott St. Also the stretch before the traffic circle as policing these actions are difficult. Amy made the point as well that pole lighting is needed on Watson Rd at the point pedestrians cross over to the High Octane property and this will be a must for next years event. Louis from Fire discussed the agreement between Winni marina and the drive in allowing the access to the gated area and was found that the Marina employees parked there blocking the access.
