Council adopts ordinance lowering Lakeside Avenue speed limit to 15 mph
Summary
On second reading the council adopted Ordinance 0-26-11 to reduce the speed limit on Lakeside Avenue between Clifton and Pine from 25 mph to 15 mph; the public hearing drew no speakers and the ordinance passed by roll call.
Gloucester Township Council adopted Ordinance 0-26-11 on second reading to amend Chapter 81, Section 31, of the township code and reduce the speed limit on Lakeside Avenue from 25 miles per hour to 15 miles per hour between Clifton Avenue and Pine Avenue.
The presiding officer read the ordinance and opened a public hearing; no members of the public spoke. The Chair said, "This will, amend the speed limit from 25 miles per hour to 15 miles per hour, from Lakeside Avenue, and the limits on both directions." A council member then moved to adopt the ordinance, the motion was seconded, and the clerk conducted a roll-call vote in which council members recorded affirmative votes and the ordinance was adopted.
The ordinance was presented as a local traffic-safety measure. The meeting transcript did not include details about signage installation, enforcement timing, or an effective date beyond the adoption action recorded at the meeting; those items were not specified and would normally be clarified in the ordinance text or subsequent administrative orders.
