3 issues in roads
Quarter Horse Run speed limit and stop sign
Neighbors presented petitions asking for stop signs, a lower speed limit, and speed bumps after a dog was killed by a delivery truck. The board adopted stop signs; speed reduction and speed bumps were sent to the state and county, which control those.
Road paving and salt costs
Salt is up 16% and fuel is budgeted at $5 a gallon, and the board is deciding how many miles of road to pave next year. They want a specific paving plan before committing to a number between $430,000 and $790,000.
Stop Sign Installations at Two Intersections
Neighbors described speeding, blocked sight lines, near-miss crashes, and a dog killed by a delivery truck to win three-way stops at Coventry Rd South/Tilton Rd and Strawmount Trail/Quarter Horse Run. Both local laws were adopted unanimously.
