Resident urges signs on park trails, bike-lane markings and lower Memphis speed limit
Summary
A resident asked the council to add location signage on multipurpose trails to aid emergency response, install bike-lane signage on Memphis, and reduce the Memphis speed limit to 25 mph.
Resident Andrew Clark used the council's public comment period to request signage on multipurpose park trails to aid emergency response, bike-lane signage on Memphis and a reduction of the Memphis speed limit to 25 miles per hour.
Clark said a family member in another part of the state suffered a medical emergency and would have received help sooner if the trails had location signs. He asked the council to "put a sign along the walking trail that a resident or a person visiting our community could call for help" and to consider bike-lane designations used by neighboring communities.
"Can we reduce the speed on Memphis to 25 and put up some signs designating the bike lanes?" Clark asked. He also noted motorists sometimes treat the bike lane as on-street parking and said the community experiences inconsistent posted speeds between adjacent jurisdictions.
The comment was made during the second public session; no staff response or formal council action on the request is recorded in the provided transcript.
