Resident urges lowering speed limit on 40th Avenue corridor; police to review violations
Summary
A resident asked the board to consider reducing the posted speed limit from 45 to 35 mph on 40th Avenue between County P and the Highway 29 overpass; Chief Edward Orgon said he will pull enforcement reports and investigate.
During public comment Renee Normand asked whether the speed limit from 40th Avenue to County P and the Highway 29 overpass, currently posted at 45 mph, could be reduced to 35 mph. According to the minutes Normand "would like to know if it is possible for the speed limit to be reduced to 35mph." Chief Edward Orgon responded that he will pull traffic‑violation reports and investigate the possibility of reducing the limit in that area.
The board did not take immediate action but recorded the chief’s commitment to gather data and report back; the minutes indicate the request was limited to issues that have an impact on the Village of Lake Hallie and that time for public comments is ordinarily two minutes unless the Village President allows an exception.
