Page #5-MINUTES <br />TRAFFIC MEETING-11/9/05 <br /> <br />Ms. Schafer responded that at the time, Ms. Kolsky’s request was provided for <br />th <br />review and comments. October 27 was not the regular date for traffic meetings it <br />was changed as an exception due to Jewish holidays. <br /> <br />The final comment from the commissioners is that they are concerned about the <br />safety, if a safety problem really exists. Commissioners indicated that the safety of <br />the crosswalk on Midland is not more critical that the safety of any other signalized <br />crosswalk. They are not sure if a “left turn on left arrow only” will be a solution for <br />this specific matter. Even if this request is implemented, the cars traveling <br />westbound on Delmar, turning right on Midland will not have any restrictions. <br /> <br />8.Removal of Sections of Delmar Blvd. and Kingsland Ave. from the St. Louis County <br /> <br />Arterial Road System <br /> <br />The Traffic Commissioners reviewed the letters from the County expressing their <br />wish of removing Delmar Blvd. (from Big Bend to the city limits of St. Louis) and <br />Kingsland Ave. (from Delmar Blvd. to Vernon Ave.) from the Saint Louis County <br />arterial road system and maintenance will become the responsibility of the City of <br />University City. They also reviewed the memorandum regarding City maintenance <br />of County Roads. <br /> <br />The Commissioners commented that the City should not take responsibility for those <br />arterial roads. <br /> <br />9.New crosswalk to be installed at the intersection of North&South Road and Amherst <br /> <br /> <br />Commissioners are not in favor of marking crosswalks in the pavement, in the <br />middle of the block if there are no extra elements (flashing beacon) that call <br />attention to the crosswalk. This issue is tabled until the December meeting. <br /> <br />C. FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES: <br /> <br />c.1. Traffic Speeding on Teasdale Ave. between Hanley Road and Bemiston <br />Speed signs were installed on Teasdale. No additional comments are provided at <br />this time. <br /> <br />c. 2. Delmar Loop Crosswalks <br />Crosswalks were removed by County. No additional comments are provided at this <br />time. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:15 p. m. <br /> <br />Minutes prepared by Mariela Tapia, Traffic Commission Secretary <br /> <br />V:\WP51\Mariela-Projects\Traffic Commission\minutes\2005\Minutes 11-9-05.doc <br />
