SDDOT sets Aug. 27 hearing on Union County speed‑zone rule amendments
Summary
Chief legal counsel Carla Engle asked the commission to set a public hearing for Aug. 27 on proposed amendments to an administrative speed‑zone rule affecting Union County and roadway configurations near an interstate underpass and Elk Point station; the commission approved the hearing date by roll call.
Carla Engle, chief legal counsel for the South Dakota Department of Transportation, asked the commission to set a hearing on Aug. 27 to consider amendments to administrative rule “70 0 1 0 2 62,” which addresses a Union County speed zone and related changes near an interstate underpass and at a station by Elk Point. "The South Dakota Department of Transportation is requesting that the commission set a hearing date to consider these amendments at August 27," Engle said.
The request focuses on speed‑zone adjustments tied to changes in crossroads and underpass configurations and on station‑area changes near Elk Point. The commission moved, seconded and approved the motion by roll‑call vote.
The hearing will provide the formal public‑comment opportunity and the department expects to circulate the proposed rule language in advance of the Aug. 27 session. No substantive regulatory text was read into the record at the commission meeting; the hearing will allow for public testimony and possible further revisions prior to any final action.
