Kleihege Road gets new speed limit, other actions

COLUMBUS — Drivers on Kleihege Road will need to slow down to a new speed as the Colorado County Commissioners set a new speed limit on the road along with several other actions at their March 25 regular meeting.

After holding a public hearing regarding the speed limit change, the Commissioners moved to establish a 30 MPH speed limit on Kleihege Road from FM 1291 to Ehlinger Road. Commissioner Neuendorff cited that drivers had been excessively speeding down that road and hopes that the new limit can help the county enforce a safer speed.

The Commissioners signed a proclamation recognizing April as Fair Housing Month in Colorado County. The month is celebrated nationally to recognize the Fair Housing Act of 1988 that halted discriminatory housing practices.
