Resident urges action on heavy‑truck traffic and bridge weight limits; board to coordinate with county
Summary
Resident Mark Terrell told trustees that heavy trucks are using local roads and accused enforcement as inconsistent; trustees said they will coordinate with county engineers and utilities to clarify permitted routes and enforcement before towing or issuing citations.
Mark Terrell, a resident who said he has lived on Clark Road for more than a decade, told the board heavy trucks continue to use local roads despite signage and bridge postings. Terrell recounted an incident in which a local enforcement stop resulted in a tow threat and said large vehicles — including boom trucks and trash haulers — regularly cross local bridges. He asked the board to explain enforcement plans and expressed frustration that enforcement seemed uneven.
Board members and staff described ongoing coordination with the county, which inspects bridges and posts weight limits, and said they will consult the county engineering office and the village’s structural reports before taking enforcement action. One trustee said the village is preparing a list of routes and notifications so residents and companies are fairly informed before citations or towing are used to enforce limits. The board indicated it will reach out to the county and utilities and report back.
