seconded by Mr. Banks and approved with a 5-0 vote as commission member <br />Dr. Calabria had arrived. <br />Item #6 was an informational item only. Asst. Chief Hundley reported back to the <br />group regarding a contact with Leroy Snow, manager of the Mirabeau properties <br />regarding the anticipated re-work of the shopping center parking lot. Mr. Snow <br />was contacted regarding the southernmost entrance / exit of the shopping center <br />and the occurrence of 15 collisions that had taken place in that area, primarily <br />with people using the cross over just a short distance south of the shopping <br />center. Mr. Snow stated that there were no plans on closing that entrance / exit, <br />nor would they consider that. <br />Item #7 was brought before the commission by Mr. McFadden regarding a <br />request to remove the cross over in the 5000 block of the SE Loop due to the <br />number of collisions that had taken place there. Asst. Chief Hundley presented <br />information that of the 15 collisions, 9 had been injury accidents and no fatalities. <br />The amount of traffic that leaves the Shopping center and the anticipated re- <br />opening of the loop traffic after the construction of the Pine Mill Road overpass <br />wilt mean that more traffic will be attempting multiple lane changes in a short <br />distance to get to the crossover. The Commission was asked to consider having <br />TxDOT remove this crossover, augment the cross over in the 5500 block that <br />would allow traffic more time to make appropriate lane changes in the longer <br />distance. Mr. Banks made a motion to request TxDOT to erect some type of <br />curb or barrier that would prohibit traffic from the shopping center attempting to <br />use this crossover. This was seconded by Dr. Calabria and passed <br />unanimously. <br />The meeting adjourned by consensus. <br />Submitted by Asst. Chief Hundley <br />~ ~ ~'1 <br />
