Council adopts handicap-parking, stop-sign ordinances after resident requests and UPD review
Summary
The council introduced and adopted ordinances adding a handicap parking space at 912 Arnold Ave. and a stop sign at Procter View Drive and South Park Drive following resident requests and a police department recommendation.
The Utica Common Council on Wednesday adopted two ordinances changing traffic signage: a handicap parking designation in front of 912 Arnold Ave. and a stop sign at the intersection of Procter View Drive and South Park Drive (northeast corner).
Council members said a resident requested the handicap sign and that the Utica Police Department reviewed the location and recommended adding one handicap parking sign. The council read the ordinance amending the city code’s handicap-parking schedule to include the new location and adopted it by recorded voice vote.
On the stop sign, councilors said UPD inspected the intersection after a resident complaint and recommended a stop sign to address sight-line and safety concerns. The ordinance amends the city’s intersection schedule to add the Procter View Drive and South Park Drive location; the council adopted the measure by voice vote.
Both items were presented as safety and access improvements based on constituent requests and UPD recommendations; the ordinances instruct the appropriate departments to erect the required signage.
