Duplex driveway and street-backing safety
Summary
Commissioners noticed a pattern: new duplex driveways hold one car, so extra vehicles end up backing into local streets, sometimes right at intersections. Staff said the backing standard only applies to collectors and arterials, but the town is reviewing its driveway-width standards and may require turnouts going forward.
