Merrimac trustees cut Lakeview Avenue speed limit to 15 mph
Summary
The Village of Merrimac Board voted unanimously to lower the posted speed limit on Lakeview Avenue from 25 mph to 15 mph, citing a blind curve and increased pedestrian traffic near Voll Park.
The Village of Merrimac Board of Trustees voted April 8 to lower the posted speed limit on Lakeview Avenue from 25 miles per hour to 15 miles per hour.
Village President Andrew Gallus and Trustee Nate Taylor moved the change after board members cited a blind curve on the road and increased foot traffic from nearby Voll Park. The motion passed with all ayes.
Resident concerns prompted the board to act. In public input, Phil Budde described a recent staff and engineer discussion about local street safety and urged the board to address hazards for pedestrians and driveways.
The change is intended to improve safety for park users and residents along the roadway. The board did not specify an implementation date in the minutes; the traffic sign updates and enforcement timing were not specified.
