Alderman Schultz, who brought the issue to the agenda, highlighted that the current 20-mile-per-hour speed limit is frequently ignored, prompting calls from residents for increased safety measures. The board unanimously agreed that adding a stop sign would be a low-cost solution to curb speeding and improve safety for pedestrians, especially children walking to school.
The motion to install the stop sign passed with a 5-0 vote, with one member absent. This change will require a code amendment, which will be revisited in a future meeting. Alderman Schultz emphasized the importance of addressing residents' concerns and ensuring that the city is proactive in enhancing public safety.
In addition to the stop sign discussion, the board also approved a renewal funding request of $25,000 for a local organization, further demonstrating their commitment to community support. The organization, while not directly managing the Meals on Wheels program, partners with it to provide essential services to residents.
The meeting underscored the board's responsiveness to community needs, with members expressing a desire to explore additional safety measures on Walton Street and other high-traffic areas. As the city moves forward with these initiatives, residents can expect ongoing efforts to improve road safety and community well-being.
