Resident speeding complaint on Wells Street prompts sheriff invite and enforcement discussion
Summary
A resident complaint about speeding on Wells Street and rising semi‑truck traffic was noted; the sheriff had previously said radar enforcement may be restricted and recommended speed bumps, and the county manager will re‑invite the sheriff to discuss enforcement options.
A resident complaint about speeding on Wells Street was placed on the commission agenda but the speaker, Carlos Negron, did not attend on Apr. 1 and will be rescheduled. County Manager Thomas Weaver told the board that when he spoke with the resident the sheriff said he could not run radar in that location and suggested speed bumps as an option, which Weaver said "are not the best option."
Chairman Charles Coffey asked whether the county is directing citizens to the sheriff’s office as the point of contact for enforcement; the manager confirmed that is the current practice and the board asked staff to re‑invite the sheriff to a future meeting to discuss enforcement possibilities for speeding and heavy trucks.
No enforcement decision was made. Commissioners asked staff to bring alternatives and any legal or cost implications for traffic calming to a future work session.
