NEW BUSINESS <br />RESOLUTIONS <br /> <br />BILLS <br />Introduced by Mr. Glickert <br />1. <br />BILL 9159 - An ordinance amending various sections of Chapter 10, vehicles and <br />traffic, to revise various traffic regulations as provided herein. <br /> <br />O. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION (continued if needed) <br /> <br />Pat Forster, 7438 Stratford <br />Ms. Forster stated she had a few questions not posed at the Loop Trolley meeting. She <br />asked why there was double track in the narrow section through the Loop and single track <br />in the wider section heading toward the Museum in Forest Park. <br /> <br />Edward McCarthy, 7101 Princeton Ave <br />Mr. McCarthy requested for the third time that he would like his streets swept in a private <br />subdivision. He noted he pays the same taxes as all residents. <br /> <br />Shantana Stewart, 8136 Groby <br />Ms. Stewart introduced herself as the Interim Director of Communications for the School <br />District of University City. She invited everyone to listen to a series of radio <br />advertisements talking about how great U City is on KATZ 1600, KMJM 104.9 and KLue <br />107.7. Ms. Stewart invited everyone to attend the National School Rally/National Night <br />Out on Tuesday, August 7 from 5:30 – 8:30 pm. <br /> <br />Andrew Wool, 731 Oakbrook Ln <br />Mr. Wool thought it was prudent of Council to press the pause button in consideration of <br />support for the Loop Trolley. He noted that only the City would gain the positive growth <br />with the addition of a trolley. Mr. Wool stated U City’s schools are failing, the Police <br />Department laid-off officers, streets weren’t getting swept but 100 million dollars will be <br />spent on a nostalgic trolley. In ending he said at the next Council meeting it should be <br />discussed that the statute at the City’s entrance is a tiger not a lioness. <br /> <br />Elsie Glickert, 6712 Etzel <br />Ms. Glickert said her street doesn’t get swept either and it was not a private street. She <br />said she was present to pay the City a compliment. Ms. Glickert noted that this year all <br />the vacant lots in her neighborhood were beautifully manicured. She said the merger of <br />the City’s two departments has been beneficial. <br /> <br />Christine Michael, 736 East Gate <br />Ms. Michael noted she was unable to find when, where and time of the Council meetings <br />were on the web site. She noted she was insulted by the presentation given at the Council <br />Special Council Loop Trolley meeting. Ms. Michael stated there was a push being given <br />by the Loop Trolley Co. with a false deadline. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />
