Other Town News: 

Speed Study Update:

County is getting ready to hire on a couple of traffic interns for the summer to do counts, but also waiting for warmer weather. 

Evaluating if there are missing speed signs, as we have few in town – checking the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). If signs are missing that should be in place, they can add more in good weather. If all signs are intact, they will wait until after the speed study so signage doesn’t compromise the data.

Community Concerns: 

Campers west of town have the potential to increase risk of wildfires, attract animals due to food and waste, and can present the issue of improperly disposed of waste materials. Fire Department has discussed this concern at the last board meeting and plans to conduct a drone test to learn if a drone could respond to a call by flying out to the site to capture photos to tell if a campfire is or is not unattended. This test will help to identify possible solutions. Additionally, private property owners should post “no trespassing” signs on property lines.
