City Council Meeting Tues, Dec.15

12/14/09

It has already been noted that the council will meet Tuesday night at 7:00. Yes, it is important that we all come and support our neighborhood. The speed limit has been requested to be raised from school zone speed to a practical speed of 30 mph. The speed limit through the main part of Lavon is 40 mph and that doesn’t seem unreasonable, so 10 miles less seems reasonable for our area. This does not mean that we will try to run over kids in the street, but only that we will not need to ride our breaks to keep the slow pace that 20 mph requires. A ticket has already been issued this week to one of our neighbors for going 27 mph. As for the stop signs at both ends of Shoreview, it has been so noted that state law says “stop signs shall not be used to control traffic speed”. We have a great neighborhood and I have seen nothing but consideration from my neighbors that I see driving. Let’s not make a nice neighborhood one that is difficult to live in just due to a few who want to control our coming and going. We are adults and are either raising or have raised our own kids and care about this community and others who live here, but we do not want unnecessary rules and laws shoved down our throats. Come and support our neighborhood.

Sincerely,
Judy Adcock
