Bill Summary
READ 2ND AND REREFER
At the close of the agenda, Council
Member Greg Anderson requested Council Member Lori Boyer to explain the essence
of Items # 9 & 10, ORD-MC 2014-666, Amend Chapt
804 (Jax Traffic Code), Ord Code. Creating new Sec 804.406 (Speed Limit
Reduction on Local Roads by Petition), and ORD-MC 2014-667, Amend Chot 804 (Jax Traffic Code), Ord
Code, Creating new Secs 804-801, 804.802…to Create a
Process for Requesting a Signalized Intersec
Crossing…. Mrs. Boyer explained that
while State Statute stipulates a speed limit of 30 Miles Per
Hour on local roads, the City has the authority to reduce that speed
limit. This legislation would provide
the Public Works Department with the authority (from the Council, as policy
makers) to reduce speed limits where requested and feasible. The petition process would provide the Public
Works Department with evidence of neighborhood and community support for the
speed limit reductions. Mrs. Boyer said
that she opted not to make the reductions City-wide; she was not familiar with
the needs of other areas of the City.
Both legislative proposals, she explained, were tools for traffic
calming.
The Chair, Council Member Reggie Brown,
lauded the purpose of the proposed legislation but felt that the speed limit
reductions and cross walk work ought to be City-wide.
There being no further business, the
meeting was adjourned at 2:17 P.M.
