AGENDA DATE:November 13, 2018
SUBJECT:

Adopt an Ordinance Amending the Code of Ordinances, Chapter 9, 'Motor Vehicles and Traffic,' Amending the School Zone Limits for Lowery Freshman Center.

STAFF RESOURCE:

Chris Flanigan, Director of Engineering

ACTION PROPOSED:

Adopt an Ordinance amending the Code of Ordinances, Chapter 9, 'Motor Vehicles and Traffic,' amending the school zone limits for Lowery Freshman Center




BACKGROUND

The Lowery Freshman Center has been expanded and the facility was relocated to a new building along Greenville Avenue, changing pedestrian and vehicle traffic patterns in the immediate area of the former facility. With this relocation, the need for school zones on Main Street and on Jupiter Road south of Main Street are no longer necessary. The school zone on Greenville will be extended to 200' north of Pebblebrook and a section south of Jupiter removed. AISD and the Police Department have reviewed this recommendation through the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee and concur with the school zone amendments.


BUDGETARY IMPACT

The funds for the new signage are included in the traffic engineering operating budget. 


STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends the City Council adopt an Ordinance amending the Code of Ordinances, Chapter 9, 'Motor Vehicles and Traffic,' amending the school zone limits for Lowery Freshman Center.


MOTION

I make a motion to adopt Ordinance No.____________ amending the Code of Ordinances, Chapter 9, 'Motor Vehicles and Traffic', amending the school zone limits for Lowery Freshman Center.
