Visitor urges county action on speeding and semis on County Road 9
Summary
Bob Smith, introduced as a visitor, told commissioners that a local road has become a 'race way' and urged the county to address speeding and heavy-semi traffic after he said his property was damaged.
Bob Smith, introduced as a special visitor, told the commissioners the stretch of roadway near his home has become dangerous and urged action on speeding and heavy-semi traffic. Smith said the route is being used as a shortcut that saves "0.7 of a mile," that it has become a "race way," and that someone had struck his mower while he was using it.
"They're gonna have to quit semis down that road. You're gonna have to stop," Smith said, urging enforcement or roadway changes. Commissioners acknowledged the concern, discussed the road's increased use and shorter travel distance that makes it attractive as a cut-through, and thanked Smith for his years of service to the county.
The comment was offered during the public-remark portion of the session; no formal action or adoption of specific traffic-calming measures was taken in the meeting. Commissioners suggested follow-up via county roads staff but did not specify a timeline.
