Traffic Traffic Traffic Plus Fun Stuff!!!

Good Morning Maple Bluff!!

Some of you who drive through the beach may have recently noticed additional cones to get your attention to slow down. Beach staff and Recreation Director Curt Erickson have noticed many vehicles driving through at considerable speeds. Squads have sat down there and some enforcement has been taken but mostly, people slow down when a squad is there. So far, it appears as if the cones are getting peoples attention; it just needs to change behavior. Staff have identified certain commercial vehicles that also offend and phone calls have been made requesting their compliance.
Where is this leading......well, if there is not voluntary compliance with the lower speed at the beach, the Village Board, at their meeting this week, has authorized the deployment of temporary speed bumps. Take care of your self first and slow down, but also talk to your neighbors to make sure that they slow down as well; this pertains at the Beach but also, at the other lower speed zone near Johnson Park on Bayside Drive and Old Shore Road.

The Village Board also discussed PODS at their meeting this week. The issue has been referred back to the Bylaws & Ordinance Committee for additional study/work/refinement.
