Windy Hills to install solar speed signs; council opens formal bid process for Green parking expansion
Summary
Following resident complaints about speeding, council members said solar speed-monitoring signs will be installed on Indian Ridge Road and Ambridge Drive; council also authorized a formal bid process for a $51,000 informal parking-lot proposal with a Dec. 6 award to protect ARPA earmark timing.
Residents raised persistent speeding concerns and council members outlined near-term traffic-calming and public-works steps.
Resident Ralph Williams asked the council to consider speed humps on Indian Ridge Road and provided a handout with technical guidance. Councilman Steve Teaford said the city has already received and programmed two solar radar speed-monitoring signs; Mayor Roberts and Councilman Teaford have been trained to operate them. Teaford said the signs will be installed within 30 days — one at 708 Indian Ridge Road and one on Ambridge Drive just past Penwern Court — and data from those signs will be used by Lyndon Police to guide targeted enforcement.
Teaford also reported the installation of new 15 MPH signs on Old Stone Lane and reminded residents that ad hoc signs (lost-pet notices, garage-sale signs) should not be taped to lamp posts because of paint damage.
On parking, Teaford said the council received an informal $51,000 bid to expand the parking lot on the Green and decided to begin a formal bid process with the intention to award a winning bid on Dec. 6 to protect the Dec. 31 deadline to earmark ARPA funds. He noted the ARPA account balance is approximately $13,000, so some of the parking project cost would be covered from the General Fund if the winning bid exceeds ARPA funding.
Interviews for the Code Enforcement Officer position will begin this month; the council hopes to fill the role by Jan. 1.
Residents who raised issues included Ralph Williams (Indian Ridge Road) and Nancy Tuelle (Indian Ridge Road); Councilman Steve Teaford provided staff responses and timing.
