Resident urges stop signs near village park; council agrees to pursue measures
Summary
A Madison Meadows resident asked the council to add stop signs and crosswalk markings on Madison Way near the village park. Council staff recommended two 3‑way stops and agreed to draft a resolution for formal action in August while installing visible speed‑limit signs and crosswalk striping as near‑term measures.
John Mayer, who identified himself as a resident of 602 Florence Drive in the Madison Meadows development, urged the council to install stop signs on Madison Way to address repeated speeding and close calls near the village park. "I'm here because I'm an advocate for stop signs being placed along Madison Way," Mayer said, and named three intersections he wants considered: Madison Way at Abbey Drive (north corner of the park), Madison Way at Caroline Drive (south corner), and Madison Way at Leslie Drive, which he described as a partially blind three‑way intersection.
Council members and staff acknowledged prior traffic calming efforts — digital speed displays and zone enforcement — but said those measures cannot be staffed 24/7. Staff recommended placing two 3‑way stops at Abbey and Caroline because of the park's proximity and the number of pedestrians crossing there, and said they would consider Leslie Drive separately. Council asked staff to move existing speed‑limit signs so they are more visible and to stripe crosswalks near the park. The council directed staff to draft a resolution formalizing the recommended actions for the August meeting and said a follow‑up speed study would be conducted after any installations.
