The Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors unanimously endorsed a speed study resolution at its Aug. 5 meeting and directed Clerk‑Treasurer Alana Paumen to email a signed copy to the MNDOT engineer for further review.
The four supervisors present—Vice Chair Brandon Geyen and Supervisors Andy Christensen, Ryan Nelson and Sandy Forsman—expressed support after the resolution was read aloud. No formal roll-call beyond unanimous assent was recorded in the minutes.
Why it matters: a speed study could prompt an evaluation by the Minnesota Department of Transportation that may lead to speed-limit changes or other roadway adjustments on routes under review. At the meeting the supervisors recorded their support and took the administrative step of forwarding the board’s signed resolution to the MNDOT engineer to initiate next steps.
