We will also introduce an ordinance (the public hearing will be next month) that would increase the speed limit on Milford Road from 15 to 25 mph. This would put the speed limit in conformance with what has been sought by the county and would permit the police to more effectively enforce speeding on that road. (There has been a question for some time as to whether the exising 15-mph limit is defensible in court. This change would remove any question about it our authority to ticket vehicles exceeding the limit.) Borough Council has been stalling in addressing this issue because until recently the state Department of Transportation would not allow us to set the limit less than 45-mph. The state DOT has now dropped the issue, allowing us to work out a 25-mph understanding with the county that provides for the county Roads Department to take responsibility for some maintenance of the road.
