Council seeks metal-pole quotes, discusses lowering residential speed limits after resident complaints

Jun 11, 2026

After a resident reported frequent speeding, council members and police/public-works staff discussed quotes for speed-limit signs, recommended metal posts over wood, and debated lowering residential speed limits (one member suggested 15 mph); staff will return with metal-pole quotes and cost comparisons.

The full story

Council discussed a resident request for speed-limit signs after reports of vehicles speeding on neighborhood streets. Staff presented two quotes in the packet for signs and posts and outlined a plan to install two signs per street (one facing each direction). Public-works and police staff recommended metal poles with predrilled holes rather than treated 4x4 wood posts, citing durability concerns; one staff member said wooden posts might last six years before rotting.
