Council authorizes speed sensor redeployment to gather data on Main Street speeding complaints
Summary
Council authorized staff to redeploy a city speed sensor on Main Street between Credit Union Drive and Highway 65 in non‑transmit (covert) mode to collect speed data for a month or two; results will determine whether to install a stop sign or other measures.
Council discussed resident complaints about motorists using Main Street to access Highway 65 at speed and approved redeploying the city speed sensor in 'non‑transmit' mode to collect fresh data. The Chair said the device should record data covertly for one to two months and staff agreed to check stored historical logs first to see if prior Main Street data exists.
Council members asked staff to ensure the unit’s outward display is blank while data is being recorded, and staff said they would check whether the sensor’s blue indicator light can be covered or turned off in covert mode. The council agreed that the data will inform whether to pursue further measures such as permanent signage or a stop sign at the Credit Union Drive intersection.
No formal vote was required beyond council direction; staff will report back with the collected speed data for council review.
