Council hears resident requests to reduce speed south of bridge; committee will await grant-funded traffic study
Summary
Council Member Will Menzies reported many resident emails seeking a reduced speed limit in the 35 mph zone south of the bridge to Blue Star; the public works committee recommended waiting to include that section in a broader traffic study if an existing grant application is awarded.
Council Member Will Menzies said the town has received many emails asking to reduce the posted speed limit in the 35 mph zone south of the bridge to Blue Star. He told the council the public works committee discussed the requests and recommended waiting to see whether a pending grant application for a traffic study is approved; if so, the town would include that stretch in the larger study rather than commissioning a separate immediate effort.
Council Member Wyatt Lundquist supported combining the work with the grant-funded study and noted the community feedback he heard while attending Mistletoe Madness. The transcript records the decision to defer to the grant process; no formal motion to commission an immediate study was made in the provided segments.
