PUBLIC WORKS 04-24-13
Keith Browning, Director of Public Works, asked the Board to consider three items in relation to the closing of US-56 Highway, between E 1400 Road and Route 1055 (E1700 Road) for three bridge replacements and widening of Bullpup Drive through the E 1600 Road intersection: 1) a resolution establishing a temporary 30 mph speed limit on portions of E 1400 Road, E 1500 Road, E 1575 Road, E 1600 Road, N 200 Road and N 400 Road affected by the temporary closure of a portion of US-56 highway; 2) and a resolution prohibiting through commercial vehicles at the locations listed above; and 3) the consideration of Douglas County providing a dust palliative treatment on local roads near the US-56 closure.
There was discussion on reduction in speed along the designated detours and prohibiting commercial vehicles from using local township roads. Commercial vehicles serving properties along these local roads are exempted, as are agricultural vehicles. Regarding the dust palliative, it was the consensus for staff to contact KDOT about reimbursement for this treatment and if necessary, improvements to the local township roads if there would be significant damage caused from the increased traffic.
Gaughan opened the items for public comment. No comment was received.
Flory moved to approve Resolution 13-10 prohibiting commercial vehicles on portions of E1400 Road, 1500 Road, E 1575 Road, E 1600 Road, N400 Road, and N200 Road in Palmyra and Willow Springs Townships for the duration of bridge replacement projects on US-56 Highway; and Resolution 13-11 establishing temporary speed limits for portions of E1400 Road, 1500 Road, E 1575 Road, E 1600 Road, N400 Road, and N200 Road in Palmyra and Willow Springs Townships for the duration of bridge replacement projects on US-56 Highway; and approval to order dust palliative applications for portions of E 1400, N200 Road, N400 Road and E 1575 Road that are affected by the closure of a portion of US-56 for KDOT bridge replacement projects. Motion was seconded by Thellman and carried 3-0.
