Summary
Webster County approved Resolution 2025-31 to install a traffic signal at the intersection near Lanyon after Alliant Energy required a county resolution; supervisors voted by roll call with one member absent.
The Webster County Board of Supervisors approved Resolution 2025-31 Tuesday to install a traffic signal at the intersection of 200 and Fourth Avenue and 300 and Ninetieth Street in Lanyon, supervisors said. The resolution was required by Alliant Energy to proceed with installing the new signal, county staff told the board.
County Engineer Jamie Joel described the installation as a “typical intersection light installation” and said the county has installed similar signals at most intersections of two paved roads. Supervisor Montgomery thanked Joel and his team, saying citizens had raised safety concerns linked to traffic near a new co-op location in town and that the light should help.
The item was approved by roll call with Supervisors Cochran, Montgomery and Conrad voting aye; Supervisor Hake was absent and noted as unable to attend. The resolution passed unanimously among members present.
No specific construction timeline or cost breakdown was provided during the meeting; staff said the action authorizes the county to proceed with the utility-required resolution so Alliant Energy can install the light.
