<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Traffic Commission <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />6801 Delmar Boulevard, University City, Missouri 63130, Phone: (314) 862-6767, Fax: (314) 863-9146 <br /> <br /> <br />Commissioner Henderson explained that since each intersection will need to be evaluated <br />independently, and since data is not available, a recommendation will be provided to the <br />Commission at the next Traffic Commission Meeting. <br /> <br />Officer Margul explained that Yield signs are used to assign the right of way at <br />intersections, instead of slowing down traffic. Yield signs also increase safety at <br />intersections. <br /> <br />Speed data and traffic counts will be provided to Public Works Staff by the Police <br />Department. Once the data has been received, warrants for each intersection will be <br />analyzed and staff will provide a recommendation to the Traffic Commission at a future <br />Traffic Commission meeting. <br /> <br />6. Requests on roads under St.Louis County’s jurisdiction: <br /> <br />Delmar Blvd and Warder Avenue. <br />Mr. Eric Vanderhoef, resident at 7740 Stanford <br />Avenue, presented his request to install a crosswalk on Delmar Blvd on the east side of <br />Warder Avenue. Mr. Vanderhoef’s main concern is related to the vehicles speeding on <br />Delmar Blvd near Warder Ave and North & South Rd. Subsequently, the inability to safely <br />walk and cross Delmar around this area is a concern to Mr. Vanderhoef. <br /> <br />Officer Margul suggested removing pedestrian crossing on Delmar Blvd at Center and <br />installing a new one at Warder Ave. Commissioner Brot agreed with this recommendation. <br /> <br />Commissioner Henderson suggested that speed data and traffic counts be provided to <br />Public Works Staff by the Police Department. Once the data is received, a <br />recommendation can be provided to the Commission at the next Traffic Commission <br />Meeting to send to St. Louis County Highways and Traffic Department for consideration. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nichols made a motion to postpone this item until next meeting when data <br />is available and then present to the County for consideration. Motion was seconded by <br />Commissioner Womack and unanimously approved. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m. <br /> <br />Minutes prepared by Angelica Gutierrez, Public Works Liaison <br /> <br />Traffic Commission Minutes – October 12, 2011 Page 4 <br />
