In a recent government meeting, community safety concerns took center stage as residents voiced their experiences with various driving issues. The discussions highlighted a range of problems, including speeding, aggressive driving, distracted driving, and the dangers posed at intersections, particularly for pedestrians and cyclists.

Community members expressed a strong desire for improved infrastructure, specifically calling for the installation of a roundabout at the intersection of County Road 25 and D. Additionally, there were requests for more bike lanes to enhance safety for cyclists. Other driving-related issues raised included tailgating and sleepy driving, indicating a broader concern for road safety.

The meeting also reviewed feedback collected from a countywide survey conducted from late July through Labor Day, which garnered over 50 comments. A significant portion of these comments—30 in total—focused on the county's road system, particularly County Trunk Highways D, C, BB, and B. Residents reported rough road conditions, speeding vehicles, and dangerous rush hour traffic as major concerns. Specific intersections, such as those at County Trunk Highway C and D, as well as State Highway 25, were highlighted for their hazardous conditions, with calls for measures like stop signs to improve safety for both drivers and pedestrians.

Overall, the meeting underscored the community's urgent need for enhanced road safety measures and infrastructure improvements to address the growing concerns of its residents.
