Page 2 - Agenda April 12, 2006 3.Speed limit on Blackberry to be reduced from 30 to 25 MPH Please find attached a petition received by Mr. Ollendorff on March 6, 2006. The petition was submitted by the residents in the 7700, 7800 and 7900 blocks of Blackberry Avenue. They are requesting that the speed limit on Blackberry Avenue be reduced from 30 to 25 miles per hour. They are also requesting that painting of parking lines on the street be evaluated. Currently, there is parking available on both sides of Blackberry, from North & South to Gay Avenue. The width of the street is 31 feet. There are bike route signs on both sides of the street. The speed limit west of Gay Avenue is 20 miles per hours because of a school zone. The engineering division recommends that the speed limit on Blackberry Avenue be reduced from 30 to 25 miles per hour from North & South to Gay Avenue. The Engineering Division will review the possibility of painting parking and bike route striping along Blackberry Avenue. 4.Safety issues in the 7600 block of Gannon Avenue. Please find attached a traffic request form dated March 4, 2006 submitted by Ms. Gerdes. Ms. Gerdes is requesting a no parking area for safer traveling on the street. She is also requesting a no parking distance of 2 feet on each side of two driveway entrances. The portion of Gannon Avenue, just east of North & South is a very congested area. On the north east corner there is the Chesed Shel Emeth Society and on the south east corner there is Momo’s restaurant. Next to Momo’s on the south side, there are other businesses. Gannon from North & South to the alley just east of North & South is 36 feet wide. There are three parking meters in the south side, from North & South to the alley. The street narrows to 25 feet east of the alley up to Bemiston Avenue (see sketch attached). The following options could be considered: 1.Residential parking permits to be implemented in the residential area. 2.Prohibit parking on the north or south side of the street from the alley to Bemiston Avenue. The proposal will be sent to residents for discussion at the meeting. 2 V:\WP51\Mariela-Projects\Traffic Commission\agenda\2006\April's meeting\Agenda 4-12-06.doc
