Police report: construction-zone crashes increasing; officers targeting enforcement locations
Summary
Police told the council they are seeing more crashes in the highway construction zone and will choose enforcement spots carefully; the department also continues to respond to animal-at-large and barking-dog calls.
The police department reported an uptick in crashes and speeding in the highway construction zone and said officers are adjusting enforcement locations to address the problem. Staff noted that enforcement requires selecting safe locations to run radar and enforce speed limits; the department recorded one crash earlier the day of the meeting.
Councilors thanked police and fire personnel for recent work and discussed common code issues (loose livestock and persistent barking). The department said they are monitoring crash locations and will continue to make targeted enforcement operations where safe and feasible.
