Residents and trustees weigh speed study, speed-trailer for W. Denton Road
Summary
Trustee Amanda Fangmeier reported engineering feedback and a $2,000 speed/gap study bid; the board discussed borrowing the Lancaster County Sheriff's speed trailer to collect data and noted the post office offers hardship mail delivery for unsafe crossings.
Trustee Amanda Fangmeier told the board she contacted three engineering firms about traffic concerns on West Denton Road; OA Consulting advised that a stop sign would not be warranted. The minutes record a bid figure of $2,000 for a speed and gap study.
Discussion included using a speed trailer from the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office to collect traffic data; maintenance staff member Blackledge agreed to coordinate with the sheriff's office. Trustees also noted that property owners who fear unsafe crossings can seek a hardship permit from the U.S. Postal Service for in‑home mail delivery.
The board tabled further action on the speed study to allow for data collection and possible formal bid selection at a future meeting.
