Iowa County supervisors discuss speed change for Conroy

MARENGO — Some residents of the unincorporated community of Conroy have asked Iowa County Supervisors to reduce the speed of a 45 mph speed zone through the town. Supervisors mentioned the request to County Engineer Nick Amelon Oct. 23. Amelon was reluctant to change the speed based on a request, citing precedence for future cases. Supervisor Kevin Heitshusen said supervisors would look at each request case by case. Approving one doesn’t guarantee approval of another, he said. Supervisor Abigail Maas said this is a legitimate concern brought to the attention of supervisors because of a daycare in the area. Maas felt Amelon was making mountains out of mole hills when he suggested several speed changes on other county roads earlier this year, she said. Those suggestions were all based on geometry, Amelon said. He has to be able to legally justify the speed limit based on Iowa Code, he said. Discussion continued Nov. 6. Supervisor Jon Degen said he doesn’t see a problem with setting the speed limit through Conroy at 25 or 35. He thinks the stretch of road in question would qualify as rural residential, which would justify the slower speed. There are several houses on that stretch
