another road, which he does not feel is part of the Commission's <br />job. <br />Commissioner Scurlock pointed out that the County also has <br />4 -way stops, for instance, one on 4th Street. <br />Mr. Beuttell continued to stress the deterioration of the <br />neighborhood's quality of life. <br />Traffic Engineer Dudeck noted that he has heard two con- <br />cerns, one of which is the safety of the children on bicycles, <br />and with the curbing and the 20 some feet of roadway, if you <br />don't put in sidewalks or a bike path, you are not going to cure <br />the situation no matter how many stop signs we put in there <br />because you are still going to have "x" number of cars and a <br />certain amount of footage for everyone to share. That is why <br />staff in the past suggested putting in sidewalks and a bike path <br />on the north side of the roadway to make it safer. <br />Commissioner Bird commented that he would support that 100%. <br />Mr. Beuttell asked why we don't discuss putting the bike <br />path on the south side of the roadway rather than the north and <br />get people way away from the road. <br />Director Davis felt it would be very difficult to access the <br />bike path on that side because of the ditch; however, it is a <br />possibility. <br />Chairman Eggert asked the Board what direction they wished <br />to proceed on this item. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commis- <br />sioner Wheeler, Commissioner Scurlock voting in <br />opposition, the Board by a 4-1 vote agreed that staff <br />has documented that there is speeding taking place, <br />and directed that a letter be sent to the Sheriff ask- <br />ing him to do whatever he can by selective enforcement <br />to crack down on speed violators and also directed Public <br />Works Director Davis to give this road a high priority <br />in our future planning for bike paths. <br />MAR 2 71990 33 <br />BOOK.
