Summary
Ryan Cashman, director of business services for BDSD, asked the board to lower several speed limits (Cty Rd E from 45 to 35 mph east of Beier Hill Rd; Crystal Lake Rd from 25 to 15 mph between Cty Rd E and Prospect Rd; and the school zone to 15 mph), said a traffic study was completed on Crystal Lake Road, and said the school will pay for signs but not county studies; the board requested a copy of the traffic study and questioned drainage implications of new sewer and parking work.
Ryan Cashman, director of business services for Beaver Dam School District (BDSD), presented a traffic- and drainage-related request affecting Prairie View Elementary.
Cashman asked that County Road E be reduced from 45 to 35 mph east of Beier Hill Road until the city limits; he requested that Crystal Lake Road be reduced from 25 to 15 mph between County Road E and Prospect Road; and he asked that the school zone be reduced to 15 mph. He said, "A traffic study was completed on Crystal Lake Rd." Cashman also told the board that the school will pay for new signs but will not pay for additional county traffic studies. The county will perform its own study on County Road E. Board members requested a copy of the Crystal Lake Road traffic study and asked for clarification about drainage tied to the school's new sewer, parking-lot layout and a catch basin in the right-of-way that the school cannot alter.
The minutes record the board's request for the study and questions about drainage; no formal vote or commitment from the county was recorded in the town minutes at this meeting.
