Dakota Dunes CID board reviews proposed 25 mph speed limit; tables roundabout evaluations
Summary
At the Oct. 20 meeting the Dakota Dunes Community Improvement District board discussed lowering Dakota Dunes Boulevard from 35 mph to 25 mph to improve pedestrian safety and support golf cart use, tabled Task 1 of the traffic study, and noted Union County will hold a second reading of related ordinances Oct. 28, 2025.
At its Oct. 20, 2025 meeting, the Dakota Dunes Community Improvement District (CID) Board of Supervisors discussed a proposed speed limit reduction on Dakota Dunes Boulevard from 35 mph to 25 mph between the Sioux Point Road intersection and the Dakota Dunes Boulevard Circle. Andrew Tramp, a CID employee, reported resident concerns and noted a written statement submitted by Scott Carlson related to the traffic study tasks.
Board members agreed to table Task 1 of the traffic study, which evaluated intersections at Levee Trail/Meadows Blvd and Bison Trail/Prairie Blvd, and said they had no interest in installing roundabouts along Dakota Dunes Boulevard. Mr. Shorma emphasized the traffic study provides recommendations rather than mandates. The board did not adopt any regulatory change; implementation would depend on separate county ordinance action. Union County Commissioners held first readings of a revised Golf Cart Ordinance and a Speed Limit Ordinance on Oct. 14, 2025; a second reading is scheduled for Oct. 28, 2025.
Staff reported the proposed 25 mph limit would increase one-way travel time between the Sioux Point intersection and the Dakota Dunes Boulevard Circle by approximately 35 seconds. The board characterized the adjustment as aimed at improving safety for pedestrians and facilitating golf-cart traffic, but left final legal authority to the county ordinance process.
No direct verbatim quotes were recorded in the meeting minutes; the above account relies on motions and staff statements recorded in the minutes. The board took no immediate regulatory action at the Oct. 20 meeting.
