She stated this entire area is striped as a passing zone, but there are left turn lanes <br />going into the neighborhoods. There have been drivers attempting to pass on the left as other <br />drivers are turning left into the neighborhoods. She requested staff to look into this situation and <br />the possibility of either striping the area as no passing and/or adding turn lanes. <br /> <br />Councihnember Jeffrey noted the speed study that was discussed at the Public Works Committee <br />was conducted over MEA weekend.
