Summary R:
approve APPROVE 4-0 Council Member Jim Love, the bill’s sponsor, explained the
bill, its appendices and fielded questions. He explained the parking issues in the Riverside-Avondale
neighborhoods that prompted his proposed legislation to reduce speed limits
on selected thoroughfares and the need for striping. Mr. Love reported that he had gone door to
door in neighborhoods and encountered a favorable response for what the
bill’s objectives were. He explained
that he would leave it to the discretion of the Public Works Director in
determining the specific streets to be affected by speed limit
reductions. The Public Works Director,
Jim Robinson, explained that he would assess the ground issues in the
neighborhoods and then make recommendations on how the proposed legislation can
be implemented. |
