Board weighs DOT request to relocate speed signs that would sit on private property
Summary
The DOT proposed moving a speed‑limit sign that, as placed, would be in a homeowner's front yard; board members discussed on‑site review, homeowner easements or waivers, and potential community backlash and agreed to inspect the proposed locations with staff before responding.
S4 reported the Department of Transportation proposed moving speed‑limit signage to the location the village identified, but one of the suggested placements would put a sign in a homeowner’s front yard. S4 urged the board to review the site with staff and raised liability concerns, suggesting that a homeowner easement or waiver might be necessary if the sign is placed on private property.
Board members agreed to inspect the proposed placement with village staff (Brent and possibly Zach) and to check homeowner willingness to host the sign; one member suggested obtaining a signed easement or waiver to address liability. No formal action was taken; the board plans an on‑site review and follow‑up.
