<br />Page 3 - Minutes <br /> June 14, 2006 <br /> <br /> <br />The commissioners indicated that installation of a traffic signal to allow motorists to <br /> <br />? <br />enter westbound FPP from the driveway is a possible solution. The signal should be <br />synchronized with the signal at the FPP/Big Bend intersection to avoid delays for <br />westbound FPP traffic. <br /> <br />5.Speed limit on Forest Park Parkway <br /> <br /> <br />The commissioners reviewed this issue and recommended that the speed limit of 35 <br />mph be maintained on Forest Park Parkway from the east City limits to the west City <br />limits. <br /> <br />Pedestrians using the crosswalk (at Williams), accessing the tunnel (at Wellesley) <br />or catching the bus at the stops along FPP will have to deal with motorist driving at <br />speeds higher than 40 mph. Most of the pedestrians are kids going to Flynn <br />Park Elementary School and/or Our Lady of Lourdes School. <br /> <br />Also, the intersection of FPP with Williams and Big Bend will be highly transited by <br />pedestrians because of the metro link station at Big Bend. <br /> <br />Lieutenant Deken, stated that he would not recommend that the speed limit be <br />increased to 40 mph along FPP in any areas east of Pershing Ave. in U. City. <br /> <br />6.Approval of Minutes for May 10, 2006 meeting <br /> <br /> <br />The minutes were unanimously approved. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at approximately 7:50 p. m. <br /> <br />Minutes prepared by Mariela Tapia, Traffic Commission Secretary <br /> <br />V:\WP51\Mariela-Projects\Traffic Commission\minutes\2006\Minutes 6-14-06.doc <br />
