HILLSDALE — Town Board members approved a resolution requesting a speed limit reduction on Texas Hill Road at a special meeting of the board on Tuesday, Oct. 14.
The special meeting was held at noon on Oct. 14. Discussion on the speed limit reduction was very brief, with no comment from town board members before approval.
“This goes to the county, the county approves it and then it goes on to the state,” Hillsdale Town Supervisor Mike Dvorcahk explained before the vote.
The board-approved resolution cites a petition signed by 21 community members expressing concern over increased traffic speed on the road. The petition states residents of the road have noticed drivers speeding dangerously since Texas Hill Road was paved earlier this year.
