Supervisor proposes speed-limit reductions west of town; resolution expected
Summary
A supervisor told the board he will bring a resolution to lower speed limits on roads west of town — including a proposed change to 45 mph and additional 35/25 transitions — citing safety concerns near businesses and areas with children.
At the meeting a supervisor described constituent requests and safety concerns for roads on the west side of town and said he will bring a resolution proposing lower speed limits. He proposed dropping speed to 45 mph west of Ryan's and adding a 35-mph segment into Beartown Alley with the town speed at 25 mph if annexation occurs.
The supervisor said the change responds to new small businesses and increased pedestrian and parking needs near the road, and he asked the board for input before circulating a formal resolution. "I will bring you a resolution here soon," he told colleagues, and staff indicated they would coordinate with DOT and local city annexation status when finalizing the language.
