Resident urges 20 MPH limit on Lakin Street to redirect through-traffic
Summary
Resident Daniel Hendricks told the Osage City Council that Lakin Street is being used as a faster cut-through and urged lowering the speed limit to 20 MPH so mapping apps route drivers down Market Street, which he said would help local businesses. Council took no formal action on the request.
Daniel Hendricks, a resident of Osage City, told the City Council on June 24 that drivers are using Lakin Street as a faster cut-through rather than traveling through downtown. Hendricks said the shortcut harms nearby businesses and suggested "lowering the speed limit to 20 MPH" so mapping algorithms would route vehicles via Market Street instead of the residential corridor.
Council members heard Hendricks' concerns but no motion or formal action on Lakin Street speed or signage was recorded in the minutes. The item was presented as discussion; the council did not set a date for further study or direct staff to return with an ordinance or traffic study at this meeting.
