Please call 505- <br />8568 to confirm your attendance. <br /> <br />AGENDA FOR THE MEETING <br /> <br />1. Request to reduce speed limit from 25 mph to 20 mph (no tolerance zone) and install <br />“Slow Children at Play” signs at the University Park Private subdivision. <br /> <br />Please find attached traffic request form submitted by Mr. Thomas Rea, resident at 7331 Cornell <br />Ave on June 1, 2009, requesting to reduce speed limit from 25 mph to 20 mph, to install no <br />tolerance zone, and “slow/Children Playing” signs throughout the University Park Private <br />Subdivision (subdivision area map below). <br /> <br />University City Police department has placed the traffic trailer at 7331 Cornell, 7337 Amherst, <br />and both locations did not show speeding was excessive, however it is always the police <br />department’s practice to enforce speed limits in all areas even if the trailer does not show <br />excessive speeds in the area. UCPD commented that “If deemed a no tolerance zone by the <br />City Council to where vehicles traveling 5 miles and above are to be ticketed, then this would be <br />the exception. The police department normally does not to write tickets for 5 miles per hour over <br />the speed limit as the police department would be writing tickets to almost all drivers traveling <br />throughout University City.” <br /> <br />Currently, there are 46 stop signs through the private subdivision (attached) but only 14 of them <br />are warranted. In addition for speed control, there are “speed horses” at intersections. A <br />record of the reported accidents in the neighborhood for the past year will be presented at the <br />meeting by the police department representative. <br /> <br /> <br />Traffic Commission Agenda – November 4, 2009, Page 1 <br /> <br /> <br />
