Bremer County sets 45 mph speed limit for stretch of Joplin Avenue
Summary
Supervisors adopted a resolution lowering the speed limit to 45 mph on a paved stretch of Joplin Avenue to improve safety through a residential hill and the transition to gravel; staff cited observed near misses and sight‑line concerns.
Bremer County supervisors voted to set a 45 mph speed limit on a paved segment of Joplin Avenue — from the Golden Mile area north about 1,500 feet — citing sightline and residential concerns along a hill and the transition to gravel.
Landon described the segment and said staff reduced the paved portion for safety review; supervisors said they had witnessed vehicles losing control on the loose pavement and believed the lower limit would improve safety at the pavement‑to‑gravel transition. The resolution was moved, seconded and adopted by voice vote.
