Spring Grove tables plan for Waterfall Road speed enforcement; digital speed signs discussed
Summary
Trustees discussed options to address speeding on Waterfall Road and agreed to table the item; past sheriff patrols were deemed costly and ineffective and commissioners noted solar-powered digital speed signs face placement challenges because of trees.
The Spring Grove board discussed repeated speeding complaints along Waterfall Road on March 10 and agreed to table further action pending additional review.
Trustees noted the town previously contracted with the sheriff's office for targeted patrols but said the cost yielded little effect. Attorney AJ Sickmann raised the possibility of installing digital speed signs as an alternative. Planning Commissioner Jeff Holthouse, who has researched the signs in the past, cautioned that "they are solar-powered, which presents difficulty in placement due to the number of trees," a constraint the board cited when agreeing to defer a decision.
No motion to purchase signs or pursue a new enforcement contract was approved; the item was set aside for future consideration. The minutes do not specify a timeline for when the board will revisit the issue.
