During discussion Barnett said this request was made by a city councilman and the areas requested as 20 MPH Zones are streets adjoining city parks where small children play on a regular basis. An error was pointed out for correction on Agenda item 3 subsection 7 that the street listed as NW 27 ' Street should read SW 27 ' Street. Discussion was held concerning Agenda Item 3 subsection 4 concerning the fact that NW 7` Street carries a lot of traffic and changing the speed limit is not justified since children old enough to go to the park alone should be old enough to cross the street safely. The area on NE 25 "' Street was also discussed with the same concerns. This was Item 3 subsection 14. Item 3 subsection 18 was also questioned. Barnett explained that the staff at the city pool had requested the reduced speed on Clement Road because due to limited parking at the pool some people had to park across the street. It was discussed that the pool is only open about 5 months during the year and that anybody using good sense would be either driving slow going East since they had just turned off the loop or NE 17 ' and people going West would be slowing to turn on the loop or NE 17 '. The recommendation was made that we lower the speed limit on Clement Road to 30 MPH and not make any other changes. Barnett said that would be on the next Traffic Commission Agenda.
