Page 2 of Traffic Commission Minutes, Sept. 4, 1990 requested. Frank Sherman seconded and the motion carried 7 ayes to 0 nays with Billy Trenado not voting because he lives on this street. A request to update our traffic ordinance establishing a 55 MPH Speed Zone on Loop 286, Southwesterly, from the intersection of US Highway 271 South to the intersection of US Highway 82 (Bonham Street) was then considered. The State Department of Highways and Public Transportation requested this update because at the time the ordinance now covering the area was passed the entire Loop around Paris was known as Loop 286. Due to some renumbering that is no longer the case. The speed limit in this area is now 55 MPH and will still be 55 MPH after the change in the wording of the ordinance. After discussion Judy Lutz made a motion to recommend the ordinance as requested. Billy Trenado seconded and the motion carried 8 ayes to 0 nays. Next a request for Stop Signs on 10th N.E. at E. Hickory Street, stopping traffic from the North and South, on 10th N.E. at Hickory Street was considered. (Tom Kolko came in.) Charlie Thompson made a motion to recommend the requested stop signs after learning there was no traffic control at this intersection. Ger- ald Byas seconded and the motion carried 9 ayes to 0 nays. A request to place Stop Signs on E. Houston Street at 17th N.E. was then considered, stopping traffic from the East and West on E. Houston at 17th. After learning that Yield Signs are there now and have been for years and that the increased traffic in this area makes a stop necessary most of the time, Richard Fuller made a motion to place the Stop Signs as re- quested. Judy Lutz seconded and the motion carried 9 ayes to 0 nays. There being no furthur business the meeting adjourned at 5:34 P.M. es 4 arnett ssistant Chief of Police
