<br />Select Board <br />December 8,2025 <br />Minutes <br /> <br />The Select Board discussed a request regarding Quinaquisset Avenue, to rescind the speed <br />limit originally established in 1972. Approval of the amendment would establish a speed <br />limit of 30 mph on Quinaquisset Avenue, designating it as a thickly settled area. <br /> <br />Chair Wyman-Colombo inquired whether the speed limit could be further reduced to 25 <br />mph. Laurent responded that a reduction to 25 mph is permitted on a case-by-case basis, <br />noting that enforcement considerations are important, as drivers often exceed posted limits. <br />She added that many communities across the Commonwealth have been evaluating <br />reductions of thickly settled area speed limits to 25 mph and that such reductions can be <br />implemented on a street-by-street basis. It was further clarified that the purpose of the <br />action before the Board was to amend the existing speed limit regulation and eliminate the <br />outdated speed limit designation. <br /> <br />Motion made by Selectman Weeden to amend special speed regulation 309A dated Jan <br />14,1972 to omit Quinaquisset Avenue with a new classification of a thickly settled area <br />and a speed limit of 30mph. <br />Motion seconded by Selectman Cotton. <br /> <br />Vote: 5-0 Unanimous <br />Roll Call Vote <br />Selectwoman Wyman-Colombo-yes <br />Selectman Weeden-yes <br />Selectman Cotton-yes <br />Selectwoman Kelley-Wilson-yes <br />Selectman Richardson- yes <br />Signing of Funding Contract with MA O?ice of Fishing & Boating Access for Mashpee- <br />Wakeby Boat Ramp Stormwater Improvements <br />8 <br /> <br /> <br />
