WALSH ARSENIO CHAVES Telephone: (508)821-1471, Ext. 3014 Facsimile: (508) 828-9315 www.achaves@tauntonpd.com Honorable Shaunna O'Connell, Mayor And Municipal Council City Hall 15 Summer St Taunton MA, 02780 04/26/2022 At the March 29th 2022 meeting of the Municipal Council Councilor Postell made a motion of speeding on Kilton Street to refer to the Safety Officer. Councilor Postell also asked that I look into the issue of vehicles parked on Kilton Street too close to Oak Street. Councilor Postell wanted me to review the need for speed limit signs on Kilton Street and Shores Street. On 4/5/2022 I placed the Black Cat II plus radar recorder on the phone pole in front of 18 Kilton Street. The radar recorded the traffic speed from 4/5/2022 to 4/13/2022. The traffic volume count is 4, 128 vehicles with an average speed of 26 MPH with only 2% enforceable violation rate in this area. This information reveals that Kilton Street is a low traffic volume roadway with a low average speed. On 4/13/2022 I placed the Black Cat II Plus radar recorder on the phone pole in front of 58 Shores Street. The radar recorded the traffic speed from 4/13/2022 to 4/21/2022. The traffic volmne count is 4,610 vehicles with an average speed of 23 MPH with a 0% enforceable violation rate in this area. This information also indicated that Shores Street is a low traffic volume roadway with a low average speed. Both Kilton Street and Shores Street have low average speeds at this time. Both Kilton Street and Shores Street are in urban residential zones in the city with a 30 MPH unposted speed limit (MA DOT guidelines). I believe if 3 0 MPH posted speed limit signs are placed in those areas, it may increase the average speed on Kilton Street and on Shores Street. I along with Sgt. Balmain from the traffic division also looked into the parking in the area of Kilton Street near Oak Street. Sgt. Balmain did issue some parking citations to vehicles that violated the 20 feet from intersection ordinance. I spoke with the DPW and  ;J. they have agreed to place NO PARKING HERE TO CORNER signs on Kilton Street near Oak Street. I believe that this should help with the parking concerns on Kilton Street. Attached to this letter will be the results from the studies that were completed on Kilton Street and Shores Street. Respectfully Submitted Arsenio Chaves  Amy Kazlauskas 3,.
