Council directs study of speed tables and zoning changes on multiple borough streets
Summary
Council directed staff to examine engineering and legal steps for installing speed tables on Ruth Street and Reedy Road and asked the solicitor to review proposed street-parking and one-way changes for N. Hull Street, Penn Avenue, Cacoosing Avenue and Woodrow Avenue.
Councilmember John Eagelman described a May 13 public-works meeting that recommended installing speed tables at two locations on Ruth Street and one on Reedy Road as passive traffic-calming measures. He moved that staff look at the engineering needs and the solicitor assess any zoning changes necessary to implement the speed tables; council approved the motion 5-0 with two absences.
Eagelman also recited several proposed street and parking changes under consideration: make N. Hull Street one-way northeast and allow parking on its east side; remove parking on the westbound side of Penn Avenue from N. Hull Street to the driveway east of 3981 Penn Avenue; allow parking on the north side of Cacoosing Avenue from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM only; and add signage barring truck traffic on Woodrow Avenue except for local deliveries. The motion directed staff to evaluate engineering and legal steps to advance these proposals.
