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. Jankowski 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 /> Councitmember 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 /> 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 /> /"/ ,II . ,f. /; <br /> <br />/ Jqrhieling %--~- -,/f ' Steve Janko~i~ <br />(~ecording Secretary (// City Engineer <br /> <br />Road and Bridge Committee/August 13, 1996 <br /> Page 4 of 4 <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />
