RUMFORD — Thirty-two Maple Street residents signed a petition late last month seeking stop signs on their street at the intersections of Oxford and Essex avenues.
They are concerned about speeding on Maple Street and believe that stop signs will curb it, according to the petition delivered on July 5 to the town office.
Police Chief Stacy Carter said Wednesday that to his knowledge, there have never been stop signs on Maple Street at those two intersections.
Selectmen will discuss the matter during their 7 p.m. meeting Thursday, July 21, in Rumford Falls Auditorium.
The board will also consider approving another extension of the Wind Power Moratorium, which has been used to keep wind developers at bay until the town can adopt an ordinance to regulate such projects. However, voters have shot down two such proposals.
Selectmen have yet to decide whether to forge ahead on work to create a third proposal. But that could arise through discussion at a 5:30 p.m. public hearing Thursday on the moratorium.
Among the other agenda items are a special awards presentation shortly after the board meeting is called to order and the Citizen of the Year Award presentation to Jim Rinaldo.
Additionally, the board will convene an executive session to discuss an economic development matter with Town Manager Carlo Puiia.
