AGENDA #4g
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: W. Calvin Horton, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Traffic Regulations Ordinance Amendment for Public Streets Recently Accepted by the Town Serving New Developments
DATE: July 2, 2001
The attached ordinance would amend Chapter 21 of the Town Code of Ordinances regarding the placement of stop signs and the assignment of speed limits on recently accepted public streets in Town serving new developments.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Public streets serving new development projects in Chapel Hill are accepted by the Town for regulation and maintenance upon satisfactory completion of construction. At that time, all signs and markings are placed and the streets are considered acceptable for public use.
Once accepted by the Town, new streets must be included in the Town Code of Ordinances to codify the placement of regulatory signs and the establishment of speed limits. The attached ordinance deals with streets accepted by the Town that serve new developments. Many of the listed streets are in the Southern Village development, as shown on the attached map.
Depending on the pace of new development and our subsequent acceptance of new public streets, we expect to return to the Council once or twice a year with new streets to be included in the Town Code of Ordinances for traffic regulation purposes.
That the Council adopt the attached ordinance regarding traffic regulations on new public streets in Chapel Hill.
