(Milford)– The Dickinson county board of supervisors have agreed to re-visit their action last week to reduce the speed limit on a portion of county road A-34 just east of the Milford city limits.
State Representative Greg Stevens, who lives in that area, represented other residents opposed to the limit at Tuesday’s board of supervisors meeting. Stevens says they’re upset the county didn’t ask for their input prior to them taking up the issue. He says they want the original faster speed limit restored. Stevens says there’s a fairly steep hill in the area. He says the slower limit will make it difficult for vehicles to navigate the hill in the winter when it’s icy. He cited one incident last winter when a driver who was going too slow up the hill lost control and spun out.
The supervisors agreed to take another look at the new limit at an upcoming meeting.
The Milford city council wanted the lower limit due to a residential development, golf course, gravel pit and the county’s compost site that are all in that area.
