2. Request for School Zone signage —(Lisa Itano, Little Picasso Pre-School))
The Little Picasso Pre-school requested to be considered a"School Zone" by the City with
associated signage and speed limits implemented. The Traffic Commission determined this
request "not appropriate" for the following reasons;
� • Little Picasso is a"for profit" business operating as a"daycare" facility. School Zone
signage is reserved for schools with significant youth pedestrian tra�c.
• �Little Picasso is located at 1123 Blaine Street_ Blaine Street is a part of the State
Highway System Business Loop and reducing the speed limit to 20 mph is inconsistent
with an established °Business Loop".
A motion was made and the Traffic Commission agreed unanimously to decline Little Picasso's
request for the above mentioned reasons and to communicate the recommendation of the
Commission to Lisa Picasso.
