DIXFIELD – Selectmen Monday approved installing two additional stop signs at Coburn Avenue and Pine and Brackett streets in an effort to slow traffic.

Installation of the signs is just one action the town is taking to make it safer for drivers and walkers as the weather becomes warmer.

Police Chief Richard Pickett said the 25 mph speed limit on Weld and Main streets will be strictly enforced.

“We’re looking for voluntary compliance,” he said Tuesday afternoon. “We’ll be beefing up enforcement.”

He said the department has received complaints about speeders. The selectmen have, too, Town Manager Eugene Skibitsky said.

The new stop signs are expected to be up within the next week or two.

“I’ve received many complaints from residents and from selectmen,” Skibitsky said.

In other matters at Monday’s board meeting, Skibitsky said the resignation of code enforcement officer and Emergency Management Director Sigrid Houlette was accepted effective April 23. Jay Bernard will take over the emergency management position.

About 10 applications have been received for the code enforcement stipend position.

The board approved a drainage project for the town garage at a cost of about $3,600. Skibitsky said water has been draining into the salt shed, which is next to the garage on Route 2.

Also:

• Hydrants will be flushed beginning April 21 and continue for about four days.

• Residents will not be required to bag brush and leaves during the annual spring cleanup set for late May.

• Skibitsky is working with the Maine Department of Transportation on a grant or low-interest loan for installation of a new sewer line when the Webb River Bridge is replaced later this year.

• A budget development meeting is set for 5 p.m. on April 21.
