2018 Annual Road Tour Minutes
May 7th, 2018 6 PM
 
Present:   Milt Lee, Richard Baird, Linda Barsness, Jason Ball, Tony South, Mary Almendinger and Cub Storlie
 
Call the meeting to order:  Tour started at 6:03.
 
Public Comments:
A concerned citizen called and asked that we consider a “Slow Traffic” sign or speed bump or both on Sah-Ka-Tay-Loop road.  She is concerned with the high volume of traffic that drives by at high speeds.
The road tour inspected the Township maintained roads in the following order.  We looked for problems that exist in the road way itself and the setback established for each road.  We observed  signs on the roads and any encroaching shrubs, trees, or personal property.  We stopped often at the start of a roadway and discussed  known issues.
