Vermilion debates Sailor Way Drive lease with school board
Vermilion city council heard a report from Mayor James Odom on a possible lease with the board of education for Sailor Way Drive. The street, a private school access road, would cost about 96 000 to widen traffic signals and lights, with a three year lease and optional extensions under consideration. The board favors a school drive only use and asked for traffic controls including a 20 mph limit and school zone lights. The city had proposed dedicating the street as a public thoroughfare with conditions to return it to private use if needed, while the board weighs keeping it closed or granting dedication. A follow up meeting with school officials will be scheduled.
