Mr. Jankowski noted some of what the policies deal with, e.g., watch for children signs, yield <br />signs, speed humps, deaf children signs, etc. He stated he would like to discuss each of the issues <br />with the Road and Bridge Committee in an on-going manner. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman pointed out that sometimes residents have a request you cannot truly <br />satisfy but if you put up a sign they feel you are helping them. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski reported that he has never posted a "Children at Play" sign. He has been able to <br />talk people out of these signs for 13 years. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman thought that the speed bumps on Dysprosium proved Mr. Jankowski <br />wrong. <br /> <br />Mr. lankowski suggested that was a different situation. When you build a street that wide, people <br />feel they can go faster. He suggested perhaps doing a temporary placement and conducting studies <br />to determine if it's right or wrong. The City of Minneapolis has developed a policy for installing <br />speed bumps and he offered to get a copy of that policy. Speed humps are expensive and at some <br />point, sometimes neighborhoods request they be moved. In Minneapolis, they are assessed when <br />they are put in and when they are removed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman, with regard to "Children at Play" signs etc., suggested that <br />sometimes the parents are willing to pay for the signs themselves. <br /> <br />Councilmember Beyer commented that if it's that simple, what's the problem in giving them the <br />sign. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder responded that we could end up with a proliferation of signs. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Beyer and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to table any action <br />on this case and that more discussion will take place at subsequent Road and Bridge meetings. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Councilmembers Beyer and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to adjourn the <br />meeting. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Councilmembers Zimmerman and Beyer. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />The regular meeting of the Road and Bridge Committee adjourned at 6:07 p.m. <br /> <br />(.~ecording Secretary <br /> <br /> i~ .:'/'11 / / i?
