Session 1727, Minutes <br />July 13, 1998 <br /> <br />in a number of near misses while people come pulling out of that Schnucks parking <br />driveway, going west. His concern with the no left turn, however, is what will happen to <br />those trucks that are mandated by the City of Ladue to come out on Delmar. He does <br />not want the trucks making right turns into and going through the residential streets to <br />try and get back onto 170. If this happens, he wants some no thru truck traffic signs in <br />the residential areas. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner said that the problem focuses during the rush hours in the morning and the <br />evening. He thinks that if you restrict left turns at the rush hours, then it would push the <br />trucks to make their deliveries during other times of the day. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams said it would make logical sense for the trucks to exit an entrance off of <br />Ladue because right across the street is the entrance and exits to 170. <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe asked if it was possible for our police department to do a study of this <br />intersection. Mr. Ollendorff replied that the police department could supply an accident <br />count which could be forwarded to the County, but that they do not have traffic <br />engineering expertise. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams said that the near misses should be counted, as well as actual accidents. <br /> <br />Mr. Schoomer said that he agreed that this intersection was insane and that something <br />needs to be done. He does not wish to start up disagreements with our southwest <br />neighbor or preordain the direction of whatever study is done. <br /> <br />Mr. Schoomer moved to direct the City Manager and his staff to contact County <br />Highways and see if any further information may be garnered and if any <br />recommendation could be forthcoming for a solution to this obvious problem. Mr. <br />Munkel seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. <br /> <br />AGENDA #7: MAYOR/SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT'S COMMISSION REPORT: <br /> <br />Mayor Adams directed a group of representatives from the Mayor/School Board <br />President's Commission to come up to speak on a report that they recently prepared. <br /> <br />Hardy Ware, 1465 Forest Green Ct., said that the Mayor and the School Board <br />President put together a commission comprised of over thirty citizens. Mr. Paul Marsh <br />will give a brief background, Mr. Friedman will report on economic development, Mr. <br />Cotter will ask for Council to endorse the entire plan, and Mr. Ware will lay out the major <br />points of the plan. <br /> <br /> <br />
