Officer Margul provided <br />speed data collected in the area between March 31, 2010 and April 9, 2010 and stated that cars <br />drive between 0-30mph mostly in the morning hours, and that during the time the speed radar was <br />out, no summons were issued. <br /> <br />Regarding 520 Kingsland Ave. building parking area, Ms. Brot referenced to the letter sent by Ms. <br />Cheryl Adelstein, Director of Community Relations and Local Government Affairs and read out <br />loud the following: <br /> <br />“For the record, we believe the proposed traffic flow will increase traffic in the alley. <br />Two buildings, 6678 Washington Ave. and 520 Kingsland Ave., shared the parking lot <br />that is accessed from Kingsland. If residents can only access the parking lot from the <br />alley, up to eighteen (18) more vehicles will be using the alley for access, adding to <br />rather than calming the traffic.” <br /> <br />“We apologize that a staff member from Washington University is unable to be present this <br />evening.” <br /> <br />Ms. Bondareff read out loud the following: <br /> <br />Traffic Commission Minutes – April 14, 2010 Page 1 <br /> <br />
