Council discusses traffic study but decides to implement signs before school opens

Common Council · August 10, 2026

Summary

Council members debated whether to require a traffic study before changing posted limits near the new high school; several members said the city should act now and can study and adjust later, and the council voted to proceed with the packet proposal.

Council members debated whether to require a traffic study before changing posted speed limits around the new high school. Some members argued a study would yield better data once the school opens, while others urged acting immediately so signage and controls are in place for the start of classes.

“ We should we should act on and and I don't even think this is an amendment, but, that was my concern. So I don't think we have to change anything. We just vote on what has been approved,” said a council member during the discussion, urging the council to approve the packet recommendation and allow staff to perform a study later if needed. Staff confirmed equipment and signs are available and that they can perform a study afterward and change signage if warranted.

The council ultimately approved the resolution and directed staff to install the recommended signs prior to the start of school, while leaving open the option of a later traffic study and potential adjustments.
