Board of County Commissioners <br />Meeting Minutes - Final June 13, 2017 <br />Attachments: Request to Speak Form <br />Tom Coughlin, 9615 West Maiden Court, addressed the Board with a <br />recommendation to update the safety laws regarding the Jungle Trail, and explained <br />that he felt speed and parking were both major concerns. He felt that 15 mph was <br />a fair speed limit throughout the entire trail, and would like to see more no -parking <br />signs, as well as warning signs to alert drivers to share the road with bicyclists and <br />hikers. <br />Chairman Flescher spoke in support of making no major changes, as the Jungle <br />Trail is a piece of history and a gem in the community. <br />Commissioner Solari suggested that Public Works could give the Board their <br />opinion, and possibly add a "Share the Road" sign at the trail entrance as a safety <br />improvement. In addition, he informed Mr. Coughlin that the gentleman interested <br />in having the road closed to Jungle Trail is scheduled to address the Metropolitan <br />Planning Organization (MPO) Board, under Public Discussion, on Wednesday, <br />October 11, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. Mr. Coughlin confirmed that he would be in <br />attendance, as well. <br />County Administrator Jason Brown advised that Public Works would be directed to <br />provide input on signage and speed, and added that, in addition to it being a very <br />firm Board consensus, staff was opposed to closing the Jungle Trail to vehicular <br />traffic. <br />No Action Taken or Required <br />C.
