The Sleepy Eye Herald Dispatch
The most interesting thing at Tuesday night’s city council meeting (at least for this writer) came at the end. After Police Chief Matt Andres said he didn’t have anything to bring up, a council member asked him what happened with the speed limit by Del Monte now set at 45 mph starting by Dairy Queen going west.
“MNDOT has apologized profusely for not letting us know they were doing that,” said Andres. He explained MNDOT wanted to slow traffic on the curve and have some regulation about how long a stretch of different speed limit has to be. Questioned after the meeting, Andres agreed that slowing traffic to the golf course is a good idea, speeding it up past a couple in-town intersections, not such a good idea.
