MEMORANDUM

 

TO:                  Mayor and Town Council

 

FROM:            W. Calvin Horton, Town Manager

 

SUBJECT:      Correction of Ordinance Regarding No Through Trucks Signs on Ransom Street

 

DATE:            May 8, 2006

 

 

PURPOSE

Enactment of the attached ordinance would authorize installation of No Through Trucks signs on Ransom Street between Cameron Avenue and University Drive.

We recommend enactment of the attached ordinance.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION

At its April 24, 2006 meeting, the Council enacted an ordinance calling for the installation of No Through Trucks signs on several streets in the Westside neighborhood.  A citizen submitted an oral petition to the Council requesting that the No Through Trucks restriction include the entire length of Ransom Street between Cameron Avenue and University Drive, rather than only the segment of Ransom Street between McCauley Street and University Drive as listed in the ordinance enacted by the Council on April 24th.  We agree with the petitioner’s requested revision to the ordinance.

Enactment of the attached ordinance would revise the ordinance to include the No Through Trucks restriction on the entire length of Ransom Street between Cameron Avenue and University Drive.

MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION

The Manager recommends that the Council enact the attached ordinance that would authorize installation of No Through Trucks signs on Ransom Street between Cameron Avenue and University Drive.
