Hillsdale board asks state to cut Texas Hill speed limit to 25 mph
Summary
The Hillsdale Town Board unanimously approved a resolution asking the State Department of Transportation to reduce the posted speed limit on Texas Hill to 25 miles per hour and forwarded petitions and a TE9A form to the county for processing.
The Chair of the Hillsdale Town Board said the board approved a resolution requesting that the State Department of Transportation lower the posted speed limit on Texas Hill to 25 miles per hour and directed staff to forward petitions and the TE9A form to the county for transmission to the state.
The Chair said the petition and resolution explicitly ask the state to set the limit to 25 mph. A committee member moved the resolution and the board voted in favor. The Chair told members the county will sign and send the packet to the state and that the process could take a “couple months at least.”
The board noted there would be no public comment at this special meeting. The Chair said the TE9A form and petitions were on file and that the request did not include a different numeric value; the resolution language contains the 25 mph figure.
The board’s action is procedural: the resolution is a request to the State Department of Transportation rather than a change the town can implement immediately. The Town Clerk will forward the materials to the county for transmission to the state.
