Fair board raises parking and driveway-blocking concerns; supervisors to check speed limits and consider traffic direction
Summary
Audubon County Fair Board members told supervisors that fair and rodeo parking has blocked a private driveway; supervisors will check county speed limits and discussed directing parking to the fairground's northwest corner or using traffic monitors to reduce blockages.
Representatives of the Audubon County Fair Board — Taylor Hansen, Greg Jensen and Eric Rudy — told supervisors on Aug. 13 that fair and rodeo parking has at times blocked the driveway of a private residence. The board discussed solutions including adding a speed-limit sign on the adjacent road, assigning personnel to direct traffic during events, and opening parking in the fairgrounds' northwest corner.
County supervisors said they would check with the County Engineer about posting speed-limit signage and weigh operational steps to prevent driveway blockage. No formal action or funding request was made at the meeting.
Why it matters: blocked driveways raise safety and property-access issues during large community events. Fair organizers and county officials agreed to explore practical steps to reduce obstruction.
