ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
Twenty miles per hour school speed zones exist on Cowan Avenue, Mill Street and Valley Ridge Boulevard near the intersection of Mill Street and Valley Ridge Boulevard. These school speed zones are no longer used by children walking to or from the College Street Elementary School, to which the school zones belong. All the children in the nearby neighborhoods are bussed to the school. Also, the police department relocated the crossing guard at the Mill Street and Valley Ridge Boulevard intersection to another location because the crossing guard did not see any children using the crossings. The Transportation Board at their August 7, 2018 meeting, voted to approve the recommendation to the City Council with a vote of 6-0.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the ordinance as set forth in the caption above.
