CITIZEN COMMENTS
Todd Milliron,Kendall County resident, spoke regarding Riley County,Kansas which has a countywide
police department. He said the Kendall County Courthouse building currently has extra space that is not
being used by the county and he suggested the city might want to speak with Kendall County to see if the
city's police department could use some of that extra space.
Lisa Wolancevich,Yorkville resident,mentioned that many vehicles and trucks do not follow the posted
speed limit on Route 47,especially in the downtown area. She said that during the recent River Fest
Festival she witnessed a semi-truck run a red light at a high rate of speed at the intersection of Route 47
and Van Emmon during the festival. There were many pedestrians present in the downtown area at the
time due to the festival. She also mentioned that on her way to City Hall this evening, she witnessed a
motorcycle almost hit a woman and child who were crossing the street at the crosswalk located at the
intersection of Route 47 and Main Street. She asked if extra patrols and more flashing signs could be
added to the downtown area to try to get traffic to slow down so that no one gets hurt.
