He will mail a copy of the ordinance to the <br />residents. <br /> <br />Ms. Tapia will ask the County to install “no parking signs” in front of hydrants <br />along Delmar. <br /> <br />The commissioners recommended that the Police patrol this area <br />regarding speeding and parking violations. The request for crosswalks <br />across Delmar, one at Geoffrey Lane and one at West Canterbury was <br />denied. <br /> <br />4.Stop sign on Amherst. <br /> <br /> <br />The commissioners received a traffic request from Karen Leinhauser, the resident at <br />7439 Amherst Ave. She is requesting that “no parking from here to corner” signs be <br />installed at the Amherst-Hanley intersection, that “slow children at play” signs be <br />installed along the 7400 block of Amherst and that a stop sign be located at the <br />intersection of Stanford and Amherst. <br /> <br />Ms. Tapia stated that the Public Works Department installed “no parking from here to <br />corner” signs at Amherst and Hanley intersection. The “slow children at play” signs will <br />be posted soon. <br /> <br />She also stated to the residents that a stop sign is appropriate only when a less <br />frequently traveled road intersects with a highly traveled road and when traffic crossing <br />this road creates a hazard and/or where a combination of high speed traffic, a restricted <br />view, and frequent accidents indicate the need for one or more stop signs. A stop sign <br />on Amherst at Stanford is not warranted. <br /> <br />Stan Fanlkner, resident at 7453 Amherst, requested a copy of the warrants for “stop <br />signs” to be installed. <br /> <br />Residents indicated that the 7400 block of Amherst is a cut thru street between Hanley <br />and Jackson for people that drive to Jackson school. People speed on the street and <br />the worst hours are between six and nine in the morning and three and seven in the <br />afternoon. <br /> <br />Ms. Lienhouser mentioned that because of police enforcement, motorists have lowered <br />their speed on the street. Sarah Koehler, resident at 7440 Amherst stated that she <br />would allow a police car to park in her driveway to monitor speed. <br /> <br />The Police Department advised that there have been no reported accidents within the <br />last 3 years at this intersection. Currently, there is a stop sign on Amherst at Jackson. <br /> <br />V:\WP51\Mariela-Projects\Traffic Commission\minutes\2006\Minutes 5-10-06.doc <br /> <br />
