Board to conduct Mill Street traffic study using radar speed sign after reports of 600–700 vehicles daily
Summary
Trustees approved a radar-speed sign deployment to study Mill Street traffic after Officer Small reported 600–700 vehicles per day; the study will collect counts and speeds in both directions to evaluate speed-control options.
The Village Board authorized using an existing radar speed sign to conduct a traffic study on Mill Street after trustees raised concerns about drivers entering at high speeds and Officer Small's report that "600-700 vehicles" travel the street daily. President Robert McLimans recommended monitoring both directions for a couple of weeks to collect counts and speeds.
Trustees discussed potential countermeasures, including adding stop signs on approaches from Fairground Road to Fifth Street. The board voted unanimously to deploy the radar unit for a study; findings will inform any future changes to signage or enforcement.
