POLICE DEPARTMENT:

Chief Walker:

1. A couple of meetings ago, Trustee Glogowski had asked about the speed limit differences on Sleepy Hollow, County Line, and Hanson and upon looking into it with the assistance of my traffic supervisor and team, it was determined that these roadway speeds were most likely originally set by the engineers at the time of the roadway builds but ultimately, when looking at considering any changes, we determined that based upon the guidelines of the US Dept. of Transportation, that any changes would not meet the guideline standards. Some of these standards include the volume and average of pedestrian traffic within in a one hour time frame, the amount of crashes in those areas, the amount of commercial or pedestrian driveways entrance and exits, and lastly a certain percentage of speed related concerns/evidence also within a certain time frame.

2. Update on Traffic Crash on Randall, North of Harnish: Three vehicles involved, driver of cause was cited for Reckless Driving.
