Resident urges county to find and install traffic signs at Georgetown Lake
Summary
A Georgetown Lake resident told commissioners solar/radar traffic signs purchased two years ago were never installed and may be in a county shed; commissioners pledged to locate invoices and boxes and coordinate installation with the sheriff and road supervisor.
At the Granite County meeting, resident Vladimir Davich urged commissioners to locate and install solar-powered traffic and crosswalk signs purchased about two years earlier for Georgetown Lake, saying the signs were boxed and never erected.
Davich told staff and commissioners he had followed up with the sheriff and road supervisor and believed the signs might have been delivered to a different county shop. "They haven't put up yet," Davich said, pressing the board to check invoices and storage locations before warranties expire.
Commissioners said the first step is to verify purchase records and physically find the boxes. Commissioner Paul volunteered to check the town and county sheds and to ask Sam and Steve to search storage yards; the board also recommended clarifying prior placement decisions with the road supervisor before installing the signs.
Why it matters: The signs were intended to reduce speed at blind corners and near a crosswalk where residents report congestion and safety concerns. Installing or locating the signs preserves a previous investment and addresses an imminent warranty timeline.
Next steps: Staff will search county storage, print invoices and confirm whether the county paid for the signs; commissioners agreed to follow up and coordinate placement with the sheriff and road crew.
