Viroquans Seek Pedestrian Safety Measures on Main Street
Mrs. Marceillius Nelson spoke for 262 Viroqua residents urging immediate steps to protect children crossing Main Street to public and model schools on the east side. They called for enforcement of the 25 mph speed limit on State Highway 14 and readable speed limit signs, plus potential traffic signals at Main and South. The State Highway Commission controls lighting placements on Main, but the council discussed remedies such as a crossing guard and center markers. A contractor objected to signals, citing obstruction, while the mayor pledged attention with the Chamber of Commerce. The council considered reestablishing a board of public works, but took no action.
