Summary
The council adopted Ordinance 2025-24 to add stop designations at County Road 300 South & Vestal Road and to clarify directional descriptions for an existing speed limit; a council member asked Plainfield to consider reimbursing Avon for a warrant analysis cost.
The Avon Town Council voted to adopt Ordinance 2025-24 on July 10, amending the town’s stop-streets and speed-limit schedule to add stop designations at the intersection of County Road 300 South and Vestal Road and to clarify direction-specific language in the speed-limit appendix.
Council member Don Loudon moved adoption of the ordinance and the motion was seconded. The roll-call vote showed all five council members voting yes and the ordinance was adopted as presented.
The ordinance introduction and adoption were presented by the town attorney as an amendment to the town’s stop-and-speed ordinance (originally adopted 2008). The changes add the new stop designation on County Road 300 South at Vestal Road and clarify the description of the existing speed limit by indicating the west-town-limits and east-town-limits directions; the ordinance does not change the numeric speed limit.
After the vote, Council member Jason Puckett said the multi-way stop control warrant analysis that supported the change was performed by Avon and expressed that Plainfield should reimburse Avon for the cost; council members agreed to present the analysis to Plainfield for possible reimbursement.
Why it matters: the ordinance changes formalize traffic-control signage and clarifies how an existing speed limit segment is described in town code; implementation affects drivers and traffic enforcement.
Actions recorded: the council adopted Ordinance 2025-24; staff will forward the warrant analysis to Plainfield to request reimbursement for the cost of Avon's multi-way stop study.
