Steamboat Springs — Yampa town officials say the speed limit around South Routt Elementary School could become an issue.
The speed limit near the school is 15 mph, 24 hours a day.
The Yampa Town Board will discuss the limit and signage at a meeting at 7 p.m. today at Town Hall.
Town Clerk Janet Ray said the town has placed new signs around the school, and some residents have questioned whether the school-zone speed limit should be enforced all day.
"I think there's some question by a couple of people if that should have some dates and times as opposed to it being all the time," she said.
Board member Arlene Porteus said the town could install two-faced signs instead of single-sided, and adjust the signs to the proper height.
"We're working out a few kinks we had," Porteus said.
The town will hear a report from its Public Works Department at tonight's meeting, but Ray said she does not expect the board to take any action.
This also will be the last meeting for Porteus, who said she is moving to Paonia.
The position will remain vacant until someone steps forward, she said. Any interested person must write a letter of interest and meet basic qualifications to serve on the board.
