Letters from citizens were read and will be included for
commissioners to read for their further consideration.
6..l.6 S eed conditions on Hillside Drive - A survey of speed conditions
was one by Moore on Hi e r ve regarding numerous c arsS
going over the 25 MPH speed Iimit. Several were in excess of
50 MPH, As the street is an FAU street, a speed survey is needed
by the courts in order to use radar. It was indicated by Moore
that due to street width, sight distance etc.,the speed Iinit
must be set at 30 MPH, the courts would not accept less. It
was felt that the PTA's etc. from the nearby schools should be
contacted to enlist their he1 p in getting citizen acceptanceof the new higher Iimit. If radar can not be used there is
the much greater hazard to citizens as a pol ice car must accelerate
and then pase a speeder before a stop can be made and a citation
can be issued.
