Miller Avenue traffic will have to slow down if a new ordinance passes the DeKalb City Council.

At Monday’s meeting, the council will examine a speed study on Miller Avenue between Linden Place and Woodley Avenue that determined vehicles were driving slower and that 10 percent of drivers have been taking other routes.

The Public Works Department has recommended the speed limit be lowered to 25 mph from 30 mph for the length of Miller Avenue.

Additionally, the council will consider a traffic ordinance that will provide two-hour parking between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday on Woodley Avenue near Annie’s Woods for at least three parking stalls.

Temporary plumbing inspector

An amendment to be considered at Monday’s council meeting proposes a new position of a temporary plumbing inspector to be appointed by the city manager. A resolution on the agenda for the same meeting would authorize Mayor Greg Sparrow to strike an agreement with Mel Dorland to fill in with outside plumbing inspection services. If the resolution passes, Dorland will be paid $50 for each inspection.

Kishwaukee trucking program

The council also will consider an agreement with Kishwaukee College to allow its truck-driving school to use DeKalb Municipal Airport grounds for lessons. A flight school also is being negotiated between Kishwaukee College and the airport but will not be considered at this council meeting.
