Meeting held 10-13-99
09:00 A.M.
Attending: Mayor Nancolas, Gordon Law, Capt. Gary Maybon, Linda James, Chief
Allcott.
Item 1: There have been some concerns apparently raised with respect to speeding on
Indiana from Ustick Rd. north to Caldwell High School. We discussed many issues and
felt that further study was needed by the STEP team. They should look at limiting the
extent of the School Zone and consider the newer Fluorescent Green signs that are being
used at some other location around the country.
Item 2. We received and reviewed a letter that requested to place stop signs at most
intersections on Kearney, creating 4-way stops at 2 intersections and 2 way at another. It
was the decision of this board that, subsequent to approval by the City Council, we would
not place additional stop signs at this time as Kearney is designed to be the through street
and should continue. We would request the STEP team to be more aggressive in
patrolling this area and to notify Mr. and Mrs. Melina of the decision upon City approval.
Item 3. We received a request to post Hannibal as a"No Parking" far it's length. The
STEP team had recommended making it one-way west bound. After reviewing the
options and the traffic, it was the decision of this commission to not make any changes to
Hannibal at this time.
Item 4. Request to evaluate speed limit on Centennial. The speed limit has recently been
changed to 35 mph from 45 mph and there had been a request to raise it again. After
reviewing the design criteria and circumstances on the road, it was our decision to leave it
as is for another 6 months and re-evaluate accident and speec�ing tickets for that time to
see if it would warrant considering requesting the State raise the speed limit.
Due to other meetings, this meeting adjourned at 10:00 a.m.
