Council Minutes of 7/5/2000 <br />Mr. Miller scheduled a Transportation Committee meeting immediately following the <br />a BZD Committee on July 11. Safety Director Jenkins is asked to attend. The committee <br />will discuss a letter received from Mr. James Depauw with regard to right turn on red. <br />Mr. Miller requests input from the Traffic Engineer and/or the Police Department. <br />Mr. Miller noted that at the May 2, 2000 Council meeting he had indicated that the <br />signage at Brookpark extension and Dover Center, more specifically the plate that <br />indicates the hours that allow a right turn on red, were unreadable. No change has taken <br />place as yet. Also, a month ago under Miscellaneous Business, he indicated that he was <br />"scared as hell" about the crosswalk on Claque Road at the Claque Park. The logo sign, <br />as you approach that crosswalk, does not clearly indicate that you should stop for people <br />in the crosswalk. The lettering on the signage immediately above the crosswalk is so <br />small that a pedestrian could be hit before a driver realizes he/she has to stop. This is a <br />very dangerous situation. There is a similar crosswalk at Canterbury Road which is also <br />dangerous. He asked President Saringer to assign this to a committee so that the issue <br />could be addressed before someone gets hurt. (A lengthy discussion ensued as to what <br />exactly needed to be done to make the crosswalks on Claque Road and Canterbury Road <br />safe. President Saringer assigned the issue to be discussed at a joint meeting of the <br />Transportation and Public Safety Committees.) <br />With the agenda being completed and there being no further business to come before <br />Council, President Saxinger <br />L. Seman, Cleat of Council <br />the meeting at 9:58 p.m. <br />~~ <br />J t A. Saringer, President of C ncil <br />8 <br />
