We have six eye votes.

And with that, we'll move to item number four, board bills for review.

1:58

For the first item today, we have board bill number 99, introduced by Alderwoman Alicia Sonye.

2:05

Alderwoman Sonia, you are recognized on board bill 99.

2:09

Thank you, Chairman, and members of the committee.

2:12

What I have in front of you all today is just a really simple bill that is putting a three-way stop sign at the intersection of Shenandoah and Virginia Avenue in the Tower Grove East neighborhood.

2:23

As you all know, I have a form where we do traffic calming requests and kind of track them per neighborhood.

2:29

And so this request has been repeated quite a couple of times, and it is near a crafter restaurant and across the street.

2:36

There's a community garden and a little booknook.

2:38

And so it's in the neighborhood, but it's kind of a little bit of a busier part of the neighborhood.

2:42

So I'm hoping to get you all support for putting a three-way step sign at this intersect stop site at this intersection.

2:49

Thank you, Alderwoman.

2:51

We'll go through the committee to see if anyone has any questions.

2:53

Alder Woman Boyd.

2:55

I have no questions.

2:57

Alder Woman Clark Hubbard.

2:59

No questions.

3:00

Thank you.

3:02

Alder Woman Schweitzer.

3:04

No questions.

3:08

Sorry, Alderwoman Alderman Devoty.

3:11

No questions.

3:12

Thank you.

3:13

Alder Woman Cox Antwick.

3:16

No questions, but I'm familiar with the site, and I think this will be a great addition, Alderwoman.

3:22

And I also don't have any questions.

3:28

No, we do not.

3:30

Okay.

3:30

With that, Alder Woman, uh Sonia, you are recognized to close.

3:35

I would just thank you all for having me in front of you all today.

3:38

I look forward to emailing the residents who have asked me about this stop sign today.

3:43

And this was fine because I had this hearing set up, so I was able to respond to them and say, hey, actually, I'm moving this bill, and you're welcome to come to the committee.

3:51

So I just thank you all for having me in front of you all today and being able to hopefully go back and tell the residents that we're at the next step of the process.

3:58

Excellent.

4:00

With that, I'll accept a recommendation or a move, a motion for a due pass recommendation for bill report bill 99.

4:11

That's the move.

4:12

Seconded by the Alderman from the 13th.

With that, we will move on to the next item, which is item number two, board bill number 130.

4:36

4:39

So I will hand the chairmanship to Alderwoman Schweitzer.

4:43

Thank you, Chairman Browning.

4:45

You are recognized on board bill 130.

4:48

Okay, so board bill 130 is uh to install speed humps on the last blocks of Cleed and West Pine in my ward between uh Sarah and Vanavener.

5:01

These are super blocks, uh so and they're very wide.

5:05

So we see very fast driving on them.

5:08

Uh the goal would be to install two to three speed humps on them each uh as needed in order to calm traffic and hopefully bring the residents of these streets a little more peace.

5:18

Uh happy to take any questions.
