Public Safety Committee recommends 25 mph limits on Carroll Street and Orth Drive
Summary
The village Public Safety Committee voted 2-0 on Jan. 8, 2026 to recommend that the Village Board reduce speed limits on Carroll Street and Orth Drive to 25 mph after the village attorney advised such reductions are allowable.
Chairman Chuck Mueller moved on Jan. 8, 2026 that the Public Safety Committee recommend the Village Board reduce speed limits on Carroll Street and Orth Drive to 25 mph; Member Jamie Vorpahl seconded and the motion carried 2-0.
The recommendation followed an email from the village attorney, read aloud by Chairman Mueller, stating that the proposed speed reductions would be allowable under applicable rules. The committee did not debate the legal analysis at length and did not formally set an effective date; the item will go to the Village Board for final action.
The vote was procedural and unanimous among members present. No public comment was recorded on this agenda item. The committee did not discuss implementation details such as signage timing or enforcement; DPW staff were present at the meeting and will be the operational contact if the board approves the recommendation.
The Village Board will receive the committee’s recommendation for consideration at a future meeting; the committee did not set a board hearing date.
