Loading...
Summary
The Traffic Advisory Commission recommended that City staff advance final design to install a 20 mph school speed zone for Bristol Elementary (Gray Avenue and adjacent blocks), effective 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on school dates, and proposed additional signage placements on Cedar and Gore approaches.
Commissioners reviewed a staff proposal and voted by consensus to recommend that City Council adopt a 20 mph school speed limit zone adjacent to Bristol Elementary. Speaker 7 summarized the proposal: the recommended zone would set 20 miles per hour on school dates from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. and include Gray Avenue plus related approaches (Cedar and Gore) to create a contiguous school‑adjacent zone.
Commission members discussed exact block extents and sign placement. Speaker 1 and others suggested placing signs north of Cedar and adding coverage where students cross frequently; commissioners emphasized ensuring both sides of the school and feeder streets were included. Speaker 7 asked staff to proceed with final design, installation planning and enforcement coordination.
No formal roll‑call vote was recorded in the transcript; the commission expressed unanimous verbal support and instructed staff to file final design and proceed toward City Council consideration.
