DeWane, and Recording Secretary and Traffic Engineer Dave Hansen
1.
Approval of the minutes from the May 21, 2007 Traffic Commission
meeting.
A
motion was made by Ald. Kriescher, seconded by M. Schuster and carried to
approve the minutes of the May 21, 2007 Traffic Commission meeting.
2.
Report on Traffic Commission recommendations to Council that were
amended.
Dave
Hansen, City Traffic Engineer, explained that 3 recommendations from the
Traffic Commission to City Council were amended at the June 5, 2007 City
Council meeting. From the Council
Report, Item 5 (That the request to remove the NO PARKING ON SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY sign from the 800 block of N. Baird Street be postponed until the June
25, 2007 meeting in order for Ald. Fradette to obtain the opinions of the
nearby constituents) was amended to “be approved”; Item 6 (That the request to
allow parking by Blessed Sacrament Church on Webster Avenue and Day Street on
Fridays through Sundays for church mass and events be postponed until the June
25, 2007 meeting) was amended to “be approved”; Item 17 (That the 90-day trial
to remove the 1-WAY STOP condition on Wood Lane at West Point Road be rescinded
due to the considerable response back after the trial period from the public,
Green Bay Police Department Traffic Enforcement Unit, DPW, and Traffic
Commission members that a 1-WAY STOP is more appropriate than the 3-WAY STOP at
this location) was rescinded; Item 18 (That the 90-day trial to establish a
3-WAY STOP condition on Wood Lane at West Point Road be rescinded due to the
considerable response back after the trial period from the public, Green Bay
Police Department Traffic Enforcement Unit, DPW, and Traffic Commission members
that a 1-WAY STOP is more appropriate than the 3-WAY STOP at this location) was
rescinded.
D.
Hansen stated that a speed survey was done on Ninth Street near the newly
placed STOP signs at Ninth Street and Wood Lane, and has confirmed that post
STOP sign installation 85th percentile midblock speeds were 11 mph
over the posted speed limit. M.
Schuster asked if speeds were collected on Ninth Street near Wood Lane before
the STOP signs were installed. D.
Hansen replied no, but that the GBPD Traffic Enforcement Unit stated that
speeding wasn’t much of a problem in that area before installation. Ald. Kriescher commented that it appears
that the STOP signs haven’t slowed down traffic. D. Hansen agreed and stated that he believes the opposite has occurred,
that is, midblock speeds have increased, confirming his prediction that the
unwarranted STOP signs would not slow down traffic. M. Schuster asked if there was anything that Traffic Commission
could do about getting the STOP signs removed.
D. Hansen replied that Council has made their decision, and that the
STOP signs will stay. There is the
possibility that a future request is made to the Traffic Commission to remove
the STOP signs, of which at that time, would have to be addressed by the
Traffic Commission as a separate issue.
A
motion was made by Ald. Kriescher, seconded by M. Schuster and carried that the
report on Traffic Commission recommendations to Council that were amended be
received and placed on file.
3. Request
by Ald. DeWane to install AUTISTIC CHILDREN signs at both ends of Linden Drive.
Ald.
DeWane spoke in favor of installing the signs.
The requestor and Brown County Services requested them. Ald. DeWane knows that these signs are not
common, but would like something done to slow down the motorists that are
cutting through on Linden Drive between University Avenue and Humboldt Road.
D.
Hansen stated that these signs would be of similar category to DEAF CHILD,
BLIND CHILD, and wheelchair symbol advance warning signs, where DPW-Traffic has
established a policy that they only install them when ordered by Traffic
Commission and Council. He stated they
also keep a log of their need by contacting the requestors every two years for
need of sign. D. Hansen stated he
researched this type of sign, and it’s very rare and in other states. He questioned whether such signs would
confuse some motorists with the words “autistic child” because they might not
know how to detect or react to an autistic child, versus “blind child” or “deaf
child”, where it is obvious how motorists should react to them. Ald. Kriescher replied that the media has
educated the general public of this condition.
J. Kuiper agreed with D. Hansen.
A
motion was made by Ald. Kriescher, seconded by M. Schuster and carried that
AUTISTIC CHILD AREA signs at both ends of Linden Drive be installed.
4.
Request by Ald. VanderLeest to install a KIDS AT PLAY sign on Beech Tree
Drive as it approaches Beech Tree Court.
D.
Hansen played a voicemail from Ald. VanderLeest, stating his reasons and
support for the KIDS AT PLAY signs. D.
Hansen stated that he sent an e-mail to the alderman explaining that DPW does
not install these signs because the CHILDREN AT PLAY sign is not recognized by
the Federal Highway Administration as a legitimate traffic control sign,
roadways are not intended for use as playgrounds, it doesn't tell the motorist
what to do in the event they encounter a child at play in his/her front yard,
if a child is legally playing in their yard, a motorist doesn't necessarily
need to change his/her driving habits, children can be seen on most every
residential street, these types of signs have not proven to change driver
habits, and if the signs would be installed, they could breed a false sense of
security for children and/or their parents.
He continued by stating that 10 to 15 years ago, DPW removed all (20 or
so) CHILDREN AT PLAY signs throughout the City. Since that time, we have continued the professional
recommendation against installation of CHILDREN AT PLAY signs.
A
motion was made by M. Schuster, seconded by Cmdr. Sterr and carried that the
request to install a KIDS AT PLAY sign on Beech Tree Drive as it approaches
Beech Tree Court be denied.
5.
Request by Ald. Wery to change the on-street parking restrictions near
the Resch Aquatic Center.
D.
Hansen stated that since the Resch Aquatic Center (RAC) opened, he has received
a large amount of complaints of the parking and traffic situation near the
RAC. He observed the conditions and in
response (and in agreement with DPW Direct of Parking, the Director of Park,
Rec, & Forestry, and Ald. Wery) established a RESIDENTIAL PERMIT ONLY zone
on the south side of Reed St from Gray St to O’Brien St, and established a NO
PARKING LOADING ZONE on the north side of Reed St from Gray St east along the
frontage of the RAC. He stated that the
results have been mixed thus far with the new zone. Basically, the residents want it, but parking enforcement needs
to be increased in order for the zone to be effective. He presented multiple suggestions to improve
the situation such as increased enforcement, education, and press
releases. He stated that in addition to
the RESIDENTIAL PARKING ONLY signs that AQUATIC CENTER PARKING (UP ARROW) WEST
H.S. signs were placed under each RESIDENTIAL PARKING ONLY sign to guide RAC
parkers to the West High School parking lot, but that those signs by themselves
are not enforceable. He stated that the
GB Public Schools Buildings and Grounds Supervisor is okay with guiding RAC
parkers to the school parking lot. D.
Hansen stated that the walking distance from the West High School parking lot
to the RAC is similar in distance to the walking distance from the parking lots
available near the Johannes Aquatic Center (JAC) to the JAC.
D.
Hansen stated that Ald. Wery was not able to attend tonight’s meeting, but in
lieu of his presence and at Ald. Wery’s request, D. Hansen read an e-mail from
him explaining his request. The e-mail
stated that Ald. Wery delivered a letter regarding the parking issues and
potential for a RESIDENTIAL PERMIT ONLY on-street parking zone to all homes on
Reed St and Oregon St (Oneida St to Gray St) and Reed St (Gray St to O'Brien
St). He wants greater parking
enforcement, as there are many parkers disobeying the current signs. The Police Department also needs to be
informed that the existing Reed St parking zone has more than one parking
sign. Residents polled on Reed St (Gray
St to Oneida St) - 30 homes - resulted in 14 in favor, 1 against, 1 neutral,
and 14 who did not respond. Ald. Wery
wants RESIDENTIAL PERMIT ONLY parking on Reed St (Oneida St to Gray St). He also wants more signs directing RAC parkers
to the West High School parking lot. On
Oregon St (Gray St to Oneida St), of the 28 homes, 2 were in favor, 2 were
against, and 1 was neutral. He
suggested RESIDENTIAL PERMIT ONLY parking from Gray St until just after
1112/1113 Oregon St. There has been no
support beyond there to date. Again, he
would like to see signs directing people to West High School parking lot on
this block. Other suggestions included
a newspaper release regarding the new pool parking restrictions/availability, a
Mayor's Office press release, news flyers produced by the Park, Recreation,
& Forestry and/or the DPW Traffic Division for handout at the pool and
given to residents to put on cars also.
He also proposed that Park, Recreation, & Forestry consider
constructing a 40 to 50 car parking lot just east of RAC.
D.
Hansen stated that he supports the RESIDENTIAL PERMIT ONLY parking because it’s
a solution that does not negatively impact traffic operations, access, and
safety, DPW-Parking supports it, and the impacted residents support it. Furthermore, forcing RAC parkers to the
north side of Reed St where parking would still be available improves
pedestrian safety in that no pedestrians would need to cross any street to
access the RAC but rather they would use the existing Reed St north side
sidewalk to access the RAC.
A
motion was made by Ald. Kriescher, and seconded by M. Schuster to suspend the
rules and allow interested parties to speak.
Kathy
Grusnick (1061 Reed Street) stated she lives directly across from the RAC. She supports all the benefits that the RAC
has brought to the community and that she has been good partners with the
RAC. She is disappointed in the
disrespect of the RESIDENTIAL PERMIT ONLY signs, citing many examples. She stated that many RAC parkers are
violating the 4-foot from a driveway ordinance, making it difficult to get in
and out of their driveway. The
neighbors are stressed out about this parking issue and lack of neighborhood
respect. She proposed making
announcements at the pool for parkers in violation to move their vehicles. She proposed more expensive citations. She proposed informational signs near the
pool front doors. She proposed handing
out flyers to all arriving RAC guests of the on-street parking zone
restrictions. She proposed increased
parking enforcement (the ticket revenue should offset the staff overtime). She thanked city staff for all their
support.
J.
Kuiper stated that part of the problem with a RESIDENTIAL PARKING ONLY zone is
that arriving RAC parkers will see vehicles parked on the street and will
presume that it is okay to park there and will do so.
Mark
Weyenberg (1043 Reed Street) stated that the recently installed green guide
signs (AQUATIC CENTER PARKING (UP ARROW) WEST H.S.) directing RAC parkers to
the West High School lot are confusing because they aren’t reading the entire
sign message; they just read AQUATIC CENTER PARKING. D. Hansen replied that the signs are clear in their message, but
if the arrow is confusing to some, perhaps the up arrow could be replaced with
the word “use”. He also questioned if
M. Weyenberg has asked parkers if they are misinterpreting the signs. M. Weyenberg replied yes. J. Kuiper agreed the signs are
confusing. K. Grusnick stated that the
word “residential” might be confusing parkers, in that most are likely
residents of the city, so they assume they can park on the street. D. Hansen asked K. Grusnick if it would be
clearer to state PERMIT ONLY parking.
She replied yes.
Ralph
Grusnick (1061 Reed Street) questioned why parkers blatantly ignore the parking
signs. J. Kuiper and Ald. Kriescher
stated this has been an ongoing problem near our city schools.
Lois
Yates (1051 Reed Street) asked if parking citation fees can be higher just in
the RAC vicinity. J. Kuiper stated that
the fees are standard throughout the city.
She asked if the parking fees could be progressive, i.e., keep
increasing the longer someone violates a parking zone. D. Hansen stated that all DPW-Parking
Division policy and rates are proposed and initially approved by the Improvement
and Services Committee prior to Council action.
Ross
Borgwardt (125 Gray Street) stated he is in support of the RESIDENTIAL PERMIT
ONLY zone on Reed St (Gray St to O’Brien St) because it is difficult to back
out of his driveway and doesn’t want to hit a pedestrian. He wants the RAC parkers to park at West
High School.
Mary
Stutleen (1124 Oregon Street) stated she is representing the residents on
Oregon St (Oneida St to Gray St). She
submitted 2 petitions, one in support of the RESIDENTIAL PERMIT ONLY zone, and
one against it. She presented a colored
map showing who is for, who is against, and who is non-committal to the
proposed zone. She pointed out that the
parking zone’s westerly limit described in Ald. Wery’s e-mail is close to the
petition results. She spoke against
establishing a RESIDENTIAL PERMIT ONLY zone.
Most people she polled have a “wait and see” attitude before committing
to the zone. She is concerned that such
a zone, especially if designated midblock, may push RAC parkers closer to or in
front of her house, which she does not want.
That said, she still wants to wait and see how RAC parkers react over
time.
J.
Kuiper stated that she lives near Preble High School. She can’t park in front of her house during the day because of
the on-street parking restriction. She
has lived there for 31 years and has learned to deal with that parking
constraint. J. Kuiper spoke against
establishing a RESIDENTIAL PERMIT ONLY zone.
Ald.
Kriescher spoke against establishing a RESIDENTIAL PERMIT ONLY zone.
M.
Stutleen stated that residents brought up to her that the RAC parking situation
is a seasonal problem, impacting only the months of June, July, and August
every year. She understands the
proposal for RESIDENTIAL PERMIT ONLY parking is a year-round condition.
J.
Kuiper states she can’t park in front of her house 10 months out of the
year. She stated that RAC parkers would
be confused when they see the (legally parked RESIDENTIAL PERMIT ONLY) vehicles
parked onstreet and the guide signs to West High School, and will park there
nonetheless. Parking enforcement staff
would be spread thin.
Ald.
Kriescher recommended increased parking enforcement. M. Stutleen replied that increased enforcement is not feasible
under the current staffing levels, especially weekends.
Aaron
Bain (1039 Reed Street) stated that most residents have single-stall garages
and driveways. Having NO PARKING
restrictions on the street is not an option for them.
A
motion was made by M. Schuster, and seconded by Ald. Kriescher to return to
regular order of business.
M.
Schuster asked for clarification of the old parking zones, and the recently
installed zones. D. Hansen clarified.
D.
Hansen reminded the Commission that it takes the 3 Es to solve this parking
issue: Engineering, Enforcement, and
Education. Most of the Engineering is
done (need to update guide signs yet), most of the enforcement is done (need
zero tolerance yet), but that the education part is lacking. J. Kuiper spoke in favor of educating via
flyers. D. Hansen stated that the
RESIDENTIAL PERMIT ONLY zone would take care of both RAC parking issues and
West High School parking issues on Reed St.
J. Kuiper and Ald. Kriescher spoke against the RESIDENTIAL PERMIT ONLY
zone, stating that a precedent should not be set after denying many of these
zones over the years (only one such zone exists in the City near the Bellin
Hospital), enforcement staff would be overburdened. D. Hansen stated that he spoke with the Director of Parking and
that the Division is fully aware of the enforcement and administrative duties,
as they maintain the Bellin Hospital zone, which is much larger than the
proposed zone.
Ald.
Kriescher and J. Kuiper are concerned that if the requested zone is approved, requests
for RESIDENTIAL PERMIT ONLY zones will be made all over the city near every
game field, every school zone, every park, etc., and that this will become an
enforcement and administrative headache and nightmare. Ald. Kriescher stated they allowed it near
Bellin Hospital because the parking problems occur year-round.
D.
Hansen questioned how many of these requests have been made in past years. J. Kuiper replied about one per year, and
all have been denied for the reasons specified.
D.
Hansen asked what other options are available.
Ald. Kriescher responded that 1-HOUR 8 AM TO 8 PM is an option, and
recommended trying a 1-HOUR zone first, and if it doesn’t work, then maybe try
a RESIDENTIAL PERMIT ONLY zone.
Cmdr.
Sterr explained that enforcing 1-HOUR zones would be more difficult and more
time consuming for the Police Department.
Cmdr. Sterr asked if 1-HOUR parking meters were feasible. It was mentioned that overtime parking fees
are only $8 versus a $20 ticket for RESIDENTIAL PERMIT ONLY zone violation.
D.
Hansen mentioned that Fire Chief Jeff Stauber submitted a letter stating that
vehicles could park on both sides of Reed St while maintaining adequate width
for Fire Department vehicles.
A
lengthy discussion continued.
A
motion was made by M. Schuster, seconded by Ald. Kriescher, and carried to:
1.)
Direct the Parks,
Recreation & Forestry Department to distribute bilingual flyers to entering
Resch Aquatic Center attendees to educate them on the available parking at West
High School and of the on-street parking restrictions on Reed Street between
O’Brien Street and Gray Street.
2.)
Direct the Parks,
Recreation & Forestry Department to install revised on-street guide signs
on Reed Street guiding Resch Aquatic Center attendees to the West High School
west parking lot.
3.)
On a trial basis,
remove the NO PARKING zone on the north side of Reed Street from Gray Street to
a point 190 feet east of Gray Street.
4.)
On a trial basis,
establish a NO PARKING LOADING ONLY zone on the north side of Reed Street from
Gray Street to a point 70 feet east of Gray Street.
5.)
On a trial basis,
remove the 1-HOUR PARKING 7 AM – 4 PM SCHOOL DAYS zone on the south side of
Reed Street from a point 70 feet east of Gray Street to O’Brien Street.
6.)
On a trial basis,
establish a 1-HOUR PARKING 8 AM – 8 PM zone on the south side of Reed Street
from a point 70 feet east of Gray Street to O’Brien Street.
7.)
On a trial basis,
establish a NO PARKING zone on the south side of Reed Street from Gray Street
to a point 70 feet east of Gray Street.
6.
Request by Ald. Wery to establish a 1-WAY STOP condition on Oxford
Avenue at Reed Street.
D.
Hansen stated he understands the need for the request given that the west
approach to the intersection is the east parking lot access to West High School. He agreed that the southbound movement of
Oxford Avenue needs to be controlled, but that a STOP condition is too strict
throughout the day and year for this very low volume intersection. A YIELD condition is more appropriate. Cmdr. Sterr agreed.
A
motion was made by Ald. Kriescher, seconded by Cmdr. Sterr and carried that, on
a 90-day trial, to establish a 1-WAY YIELD condition on O’Brien Street at Reed
Street.
7.
Request by Ald. Wery to establish a 1-WAY STOP condition on Colonial
Avenue at Tilkens Street.
D.
Hansen displayed photos taken from a driver’s perspective at the intersection,
and noted that if a vehicle pulls up to the corner, stops or yields and then
looks east, that a hedge obstructs the intersection sight distance.
A motion
was made by Ald. Kriescher, seconded by M. Schuster and carried to:
1.) On a 90-day trial, to establish a 1-WAY YIELD
condition on Colonial Avenue and Tilkens Street.
2.) Direct the Building Inspection Department to evaluate
the sight triangle on the southeast corner of Colonial Avenue and Tilkens
Street.
8.
Request by Ald. Wery, on behalf of Mike Josephson, to remove the parking
limits on Tilkens Street from Colonial Avenue to Meacham Street.
D.
Hansen stated that Tilkens Street has a 1-HR PARKING 7 AM – 4 PM SCHOOL DAYS
zone on both sides from Tommark Street to Oneida Street.
Cmdr.
Sterr stated that it would be impractical to remove just one block of the
1-HOUR zone.
A
motion was made by Cmdr. Sterr, seconded by M. Schuster and carried that the
request to remove the parking limits on Tilkens Street from Colonial Avenue to
Meacham Street be denied.
9.
Request by Ald. Wery on behalf of Nancy Giesler (1121 Langlade Avenue)
to establish a NO PARKING zone on the north side of Langlade Avenue from Oneida
Street to Gross Avenue.
D.
Hansen read an excerpt of an e-mail from Ald. Wery stating his support of the
request but that he only heard from one person in support of it.
A
motion was made by Ald. Kriescher, seconded by Cmdr. Sterr and carried that the
request to establish a NO PARKING zone on the north side of Langlade Avenue
from Oneida Street to Gross Avenue be postponed until the July 23, 2007 Traffic
Commission meeting for more information from residents.
10.
Request by Ald. DeWane to install traffic signals at the intersection of
Deckner Avenue and Bader Street.
D. Hansen summarized the results of the traffic
signal warrant study, which recommends the installation of a single-lane roundabout
at the intersection of Deckner Avenue and Bader Street pending determination of
the need to purchase right-of-way in order to construct a roundabout. One traffic signal warrant (Warrant 8 –
Roadway Network) was met. Intersection
operations and vehicle/pedestrian safety would be improved if a single-lane
roundabout were constructed. The reason
a roundabout is recommended over a traffic signal is the presence of a sharp
curve and grade on the north leg of the intersection. A green signal on Bader St would allow speeds of 25 mph or
greater through and north of the intersection, while a roundabout would reduce
speeds, making north and southbound movements safer. From field observations, the existing multi-way stop condition
lends to driver confusion on who has the right-of-way, especially during peak
hours. Given its proximity to Preble
High School and that a considerable volume of pedestrians use this
intersection, the splitter islands of a roundabout would improve pedestrian
safety. Although two lanes enter the
intersection on each approach, the entering volumes are low enough to need only
single lane entry. A conceptual
roundabout design is recommended to determine if additional right-of-way is
required to construct a roundabout.
Ald. DeWane stated that one family had four accidents
at this intersection. D. Hansen stated
that this very well could have happened, but that the Crash Experience Warrant
requires 5 or more crashes that are correctable by a traffic signal to have
occurred within a 12-month period.
J.
Kuiper asked if any traffic signal warrants were met. D. Hansen explained the definition of Warrant 8 (Roadway
Network), and that that was the only warrant that was met. He stated he recommends a roundabout because
a traffic signal was warranted, and that if a signal is warranted, a roundabout
should also be considered. When
comparing the two options, a roundabout would be more safe and less expensive
over the life of the intersection than a signalized intersection. This, compounded with the sharp curve north
of the intersection, led him to the roundabout recommendation. He continued that with a roundabout,
splitter islands would be part of the design, which shortens up the crossing
distances for pedestrians, further enhancing pedestrian safety.
Ald.
DeWane acknowledged and supported the results of the study, and said that some
of the residents he talked to about the intersection would also support a
roundabout at this location.
Cmdr.
Sterr asked how much right-of-way would be needed to build a roundabout. D. Hansen replied that the northern half of
the intersection has more right-of-way, and that it is possible to shift the
center of roundabout slightly north to fit it into the existing
right-of-way. However, a conceptual design
should be done in order to determine feasibility of this northerly shift and
the potential right-of-way constraints.
He recommended that DPW be allowed to design the intersection
conceptually as a roundabout to determine if this option is still feasible.
A
motion was made by Ald. Kriescher, seconded by M. Schuster and carried that the
request to install traffic signals at the intersection of Deckner Avenue and
Bader Street be referred to DPW for study for conceptual design of a
single-lane roundabout.
11.
Request by Ald. DeWane to install traffic signals at the intersection of
Bader Street and Newberry Avenue.
D.
Hansen summarized the results of the traffic signal warrant study, which does
not recommend any changes to the intersection traffic control at the
intersection of Bader Street and Newberry Avenue. Currently the intersection operates under 4-WAY STOP
control. Intersection operations and
vehicle/pedestrian safety could be improved if a single-lane roundabout were
constructed. Given its proximity to
Preble High School and that a considerable volume of pedestrians use this
intersection, the splitter islands of a roundabout would improve pedestrian
safety. However, since traffic signal
warrants were not met, D. Hansen did not recommend the construction of a
roundabout. This decision is based on
WisDOT’s policy of considering roundabouts at locations that have traffic
signals or warrant them, as referenced in their Facilities Development Manual
(FDM).
Ald.
DeWane acknowledged and supported the results of the study, and said that some
of the residents he talked to about the intersection would also support a
roundabout at this location.
A
motion was made by Ald. Kriescher, seconded by M. Schuster and carried that the
request to install traffic signals at the intersection of Bader Street and
Newberry Avenue be denied.
12.
Request by Ald. Theisen to synchronize and actuate the traffic signals
on South Monroe Avenue at East Mason and Chicago Streets.
D.
Hansen explained that he spoke with Ald. Theisen about the study results. D. Hansen stated that Ald. Theisen stated he
was satisfied with the results at Monroe/Mason but that he did not field-review
the changes made at Monroe/Chicago. D.
Hansen verbally explained the changes to Ald. Theisen and those changes matched
the goals of the alderman.
A
motion was made by M. Schuster, seconded by Ald. Kriescher and carried that the
request to synchronize and actuate the traffic signals on South Monroe Avenue
at East Mason and Chicago Streets be received and placed on file.
13. That,
on a 90-day trial to remove the 2-WAY YIELD condition on Phoebe Street at
Crocker Street.
A
motion was made by M. Schuster, seconded by Cmdr. Sterr and carried that the
removal of the 2-WAY YIELD condition on Phoebe Street at Crocker Street be
adopted by ordinance.
14. That,
on a 90-day trial to establish a 2-WAY YIELD condition on Crocker Street at
Phoebe Street.
A
motion was made by M. Schuster, seconded by Cmdr. Sterr and carried that a
2-WAY YIELD condition on Crocker Street at Phoebe Street be established and
adopted by ordinance.
15. That,
on a 90-day trial to remove the NO PARKING zone on the south side of Sixth Street
from a point 95 feet west of Irvington Street to a point 100 feet east of
Military Avenue.
A
motion was made by M. Schuster, seconded by Cmdr. Sterr and carried that the
removal of the NO PARKING zone on the south side of Sixth Street from a point
95 feet west of Irvington Street to a point 100 feet east of Military Avenue be
adopted by ordinance.
16. That
on a 90-day trial to remove the NO PARKING 7 AM TO 7 PM DAILY EXCEPT SATURDAYS
AND SUNDAYS zone on the south side of Sixth Street from a point 100 feet east
of Military Avenue to a point 780 feet east of Military Avenue.
A
motion was made by M. Schuster, seconded by Cmdr. Sterr and carried that the
removal of the NO PARKING 7 AM TO 7 PM DAILY EXCEPT SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS zone
on the south side of Sixth Street from a point 100 feet east of Military Avenue
to a point 780 feet east of Military Avenue be adopted by ordinance.
17. That
on a 90-day trial to establish a NO PARKING zone on the south side of Sixth
Street from a point 95 feet west of Irvington Street to a point 620 feet east
of Military Avenue.
A
motion was made by M. Schuster, seconded by Cmdr. Sterr and carried that a NO
PARKING zone on the south side of Sixth Street from a point 95 feet west of
Irvington Street to a point 620 feet east of Military Avenue be established and
adopted by ordinance.
There being no other items of discussion, a motion
was made by Ald. Kriescher,
seconded by Cmdr. Sterr and carried to adjourn from
the regular orders of
business. The
meeting ended at 9:05 P.M. The next
Traffic Commission
meeting is scheduled for Monday, July 23, 2007 at
7:00 P.M.
