Resident urges Sand Lake to address speeding on Lake Street; council says it added funds for extra patrols
Summary
Craig Moore, owner of Rosie's Dinner, told the council that vehicles frequently speed on Lake Street and asked what the village can do; President Mollie Doerr said the village has added funding to the budget for additional patrols and council members discussed possible DOT routing and enforcement follow-up.
At the April 21 meeting of the Village of Sand Lake, Craig Moore, owner of Rosie's Dinner, used the public-comment period to press the council to address recurring speeding on Lake Street.
Moore asked whether the village could take steps to slow traffic on Lake Street. President Mollie Doerr responded that the village had added money to the budget to provide for increased patrols. No formal enforcement plan or schedule was provided at the meeting.
During council comment following public comment, Councilmember Merritt suggested contacting the Michigan Department of Transportation to explore rerouting traffic down Dagget as one possible mitigation; Councilmember Camilleri said he was pleased to see increased police presence. The council did not take a formal vote on a traffic-control measure during the meeting; any further action would require staff follow-up or a future agenda item.
