The Ashland Village Board considered proposals for new stop signs in various locations around the village and a proposal for speed bumps on one street at last week’s meeting. However, most of the proposals were not adopted as the board decided most need to be reworked.
The proposals were pushed by Police Chief Martin Fanning in an attempt to slow down drivers on village streets. Trustee David Wilken was skeptical that speed could be regulated with stop signs, but Fanning said most speeding complaints he received were on streets with long stretches without a stop sign and that adding points where drivers have to stop will slow them down. Mayor Kitty Mau added that Forest Street has no stop signs along its entire length.
