Texas Department of Transportation <br />P.O. BOX 250 9 PARIS, TEXAS 75461 -0250 • (903) 784 -4311 <br />June 8, 1992 <br />Mr. James Barnett <br />Assistant Chief of Police <br />P. 0. Box 9037 <br />Paris, Texas 75461 <br />Dear Mr. Barnett: <br />The current Municipal Maintenance Agreement gives the State <br />the authority to assume responsibility for upgrading and <br />maintaining school speed zones on highway routes through <br />Paris. <br />It is proposed that responsibility for the following school <br />zone locations be assumed by the State: <br />1. BU 82 (Lamar Ave.) at 31st Street <br />2. FM 79 adjacent to Thomas Justiss Elementary <br />3. FM 1507 adjacent to the high school <br />These locations will be converted to school speed zones with <br />flashing type operations. To do this, all city ordinances <br />covering the above school zones must show our standard <br />flashing time periods. <br />The existing ordinance covering the school zone on BU 82 <br />(Lamar Ave.) is in compliance and will require no city <br />action. A new proposed school zone for FM 79 has been <br />submitted to the city. When approved, this school zone will <br />also be in compliance. <br />The existing speed zone ordinance covering the school zone <br />on FM 1507 is not in compliance. This ordinance will have to <br />be revised to show the required standard flashing perio -ds. <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
