Council Minutes 3/6/2001 requiring three readings. The motion was seconded by Mr. Miller. Roll call: Limpert, yes; Miller, no, with comment that this not go on suspension at this time noting the Law Director's comments about expanding the zone and perhaps changing the time. Also, this may move the safety issue further down the street as suggested by Mr. Kelly, and perhaps the schools should be using some enhanced communication regarding this issue. Roll call continued: Dailey, yes; Kesler, no; McKay, no, with comment that he would like to see the results of the Law Director's suggestion. He believes there is some merit in eliminating that altogether down that street. Roll call continued: Nashar, no; O'Grady, yes, with comment that this issue is something he and the Safety Director tried to make quite clear is a separate issue than what is happening down the street. This is a safety issue with regard to a particular crosswalk and ensuring the safety of the children who are using that crosswalk. It does not affect, and it does not make worse, traffic issues down the street, nor does it make them better. It's not meant to address that. It's meant to address a crosswalk used by school children and the safety of those school children. This is something that needs to be suspended and needs to be in place now and then the separate issue of down the street and perhaps the safety or convenience of people down the street can be addressed at a later time. The motion to suspend the rule failed with four nays and three yeas. Ordinance No. 2001-41 was introduced and placed on first reading by Councilman McKay on behalf of himself and Mayor Musial.
