Crawford County adopts resolution banning trucks on portion of 250th Street
Summary
The Crawford County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted Resolution No. 2026-019 prohibiting trucks and commercial vehicles on a portion of 250th Street after Commissioner Carl Wood reported increased problems on the road and asked for signage and enforcement; the resolution passed 3-0.
The Crawford County Board of Commissioners on May 1 unanimously adopted Resolution No. 2026-019 prohibiting the operation of trucks and commercial vehicles on a portion of 250th Street in Crawford County.
Commissioner Carl Wood introduced the request, saying he has been pursuing the issue for about six months and that conditions had worsened in the past two to three weeks. County Counselor Jim Emerson described the proposed restrictions and said the county sign department is ready to install signage if the board approves the change. On motion (26-219) of Commissioner Wood, seconded by Commissioner Tom Moody, Commissioners Wood, Moody and Bruce Blair voted to adopt the resolution; the motion prevailed.
The resolution text as presented prohibits operation of trucks and commercial vehicles on the specified portion of 250th Street; the meeting record does not list ordinance-style fines or an enforcement schedule. Emerson indicated the county has the signage capacity to implement the route restriction once the board acts. The board did not record further administrative steps or a timeline for enforcement in the meeting minutes.
The board also reviewed related transportation and public-safety concerns earlier in the meeting but took no separate formal actions beyond adopting Resolution No. 2026-019. The resolution was adopted during the regular open session and is recorded in the meeting motions as Motion 26-219.
