The Issue

As a resident of Colesburg and founder of Colesburg RISE, traffic safety is very personal to me. Our community has witnessed vehicles speeding through Colesburg Road far too often, and sadly there have been incidents involving children and pets being struck by vehicles.

Colesburg is our home. It is a place where families live, children play, neighbors walk, and community members gather. No one should have to worry about speeding traffic putting their loved ones at risk.

We are asking Hardin County officials to consider installing speed humps and other traffic-calming measures on Colesburg Road to help slow traffic and improve safety. Speed humps are an effective way to encourage drivers to reduce their speed while still allowing normal access for residents and emergency vehicles.

This petition is not about placing blame. It is about working together to make our community safer before another accident occurs.

Please join us in supporting safer roads for the residents, children, pets, and visitors of Colesburg. Every signature helps show that our community cares about safety and is asking for action.

I’ve been working with Judge Keith Taul in expediting a resolution for the traffic issue in Colesburg. Judge Taul has given approval to proceed with installation of rumble strips and additional signage. I have been told the rumble strips are ordered and are waiting for delivery and will be installed as soon as we can along with the signage. We were hoping we could pursue another option that would have ended through traffic, but last week after much research, the option is simply not feasible. Therefore, our Sr. Engineer, designed the rumble strip and signage option that will be installed soon. I have been very concerned about the safety of the residents living along Colesburg Road and have been persistent in helping to move safety measures forward. I hope these additional improvements will slow people down and improve safety for folks in Colesburg. Thanks and take care.
