Wood Ex off~cio: Judge Frank Bocci I - -00___ . Q~Petltion for Traffic Safety'Facility at '30th and Agate - Petition containing about 150 signatures of residents in the vicinity of 30th and Agate was read requesting construction of an overpass or appropriate electrically operated traffic signals at that intersection. ;public Works Director explained that Lane County has awarded a contract for rework- 'ing 30th Avenue to accommodate four lanes of traffic. Included in that contract is provision for channelization of traffic at the Agate intersection. After observation of the effectiveness of that channelization, County will decide whether signalization will be installed. The County has indicated that the project will probably not be started until next spring. Also that it is neither financially possible nor do accident statistics warrant construction of the suggested overpass. Councilman Keller asked if ~he petitioners had been advised of the project under contract. Mayor Anderson suggested response to the group to that effect, since there appeared to be nothing the Council could do. . Councilwoman Campbell wondered whether reducing the speed limit on 30th would help. She cited instances of trucks being wrecked because of excessive speeds. Public , Works Director answered that the incidents mentioned were the result of mechanical I I failure, not excessive speed. He added that speeds are set by the State Speed Con- -e : tro1 Board so review would have to be requested if it is thought speeds should be changed. He cautioned however that because 30th is over-driven - cars traveling at \ speeds higher than those posted - it is entirely possible a review would result in I raising rather than lowering the speed limit for that facility. Councilman Wood recalled patrol of that area prior to construction of the crosswalk because of excessive speeds. . - ..,-', . ~\~ 10/23/73 - 10
