Mary B. Jenkins loves neighborhood but feels street is dangerous and humps are needed. <br /> R.D. Jenkins started the petition and understood that if the street met criteria would be <br />_ considered for speed humps. He sees no need to argue about impact on other streets and <br /> should consider each street as necessary. <br /> <br /> Herman Pepper stated he knows Edgewood Road intimately and speed humps will slow <br /> down traffic. <br /> <br /> Nita Spangler referred to Edgewood Road being set out in 1889 and encouraged staff to <br /> allow this speed hump placement. <br /> <br /> Council Member Howard asked Task Force Chairperson Verdone about the task force <br /> minutes being mailed out and the process followed. <br /> <br /> Edgewood Park Neighborhood Association chairperson Verdone commended the report as <br /> being complete and accurate and the task force as being representative of divergent views <br /> while concurring that the minutes had been mailed out. He indicated he had hand delivered <br /> notices covering everything south of Whipple Avenue to Hopkins and down to Grant on <br /> both sides of Whipple Avenue, as well Alameda de las Pulgas up to Hopkins. <br /> <br /> Council Member Claire reiterated his request that more people in the area be noticed and <br /> still felt enforcement was necessary. MEMO 12/2/99 <br /> <br /> Vice Mayor Claire made a motion to postpone a decision on the humps until the larger <br /> group is brought together to study alternatives to speed humps and after the study, if humps <br /> deemed to be the best possible way to go he would support. The motion failed for lack of a <br /> second. MEMO 12/2/99 <br /> <br /> M/S Ira/Howard to: <br /> <br /> i) Adopt RESOLUTION 13800 APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING INSTALLATION <br /> OF SPEED HUMPS AT DESIGNATED LOCATIONS ON CERTAIN STREETS <br /> HEREIN SPECIFIED; (702) <br /> <br /> ii) Adopt RESOLUTION 13801 ESTABLISHING AND DECLARING DESIGNATED <br /> ENTRANCES TO CERTAIN HEREIN SPECIFIED INTERSECTION TO BE STOP <br /> ENTRANCES; (702) <br /> <br /> iii) Direct staffto monitor traffic conditions on nearby local residential streets in the <br /> vicinity of the Edgewood Road hump installations, and to regard a change in excess <br /> of I00 vehicles per day on the neighboring local streets attributable to diversions <br /> from the Edgewood Road humps as a threshold of significance that warrants <br /> mitigative traffic calming actions on the affected street or streets; <br /> <br /> REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES BOOK NO. 57 NOVEMBER 22, 1999 <br /> MINUTES Page No. 469 PAGE 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
