Mr. O.J. Madson phoned in a request for the Traffic Commission. Mr. Madson is concerned
by speeding and non-yielding vehicles around WVMC. Mr. Madson requested additional
crosswalks be installed and or a"Slow Zone" be implemented.

• underway at VWMC. However, tra�c and pedestrian flow has and is expected to continue to
increase in that area. Mayor Nancolas made the motion and Traffic Commission agreed
unanimously to request additional cross-walks at the intersection of Arlington & Logan and

and communicate the Traffic Commissions decision to Mr. O.J. ;Madson.
3. Request for Handicap Parking space at Caldwell Post Office
Caldwell Post Office requested a handicap parking space be painted at the Post Office. This
request is in reaction to a letter written by Kimberly Huitt to Mayor Nancolas, USPS and
Office of Americans with Disabilities Act. Ms. Huitts letter addresses the fact that there are
currently no handicap parking spaces available at Caldwell Post Office and therefore the
Post Office may not be in compliance with federal law. Traffic Commission discussed that
the Post O�ce has previously been adamant about not wanting handicap spaces due to
limited parking availability.
#ri�ti��i:�:::���ri;�:;�:�::� Negotiate w/ Post Office for location of HC space.
This concluded the meeting and the meeting was adjourned.
The next Traffic Commission meeting is scheduled for August 1� at 10:30 am
