Discussion Items

• No-Parking Zone on Dopp Street (ID#26-03965): The committee reviewed a previously tabled proposal to establish a no-parking zone on the north side of Dopp Street from South Moreland Boulevard to 100 feet east of South Moreland Boulevard. Members recalled prior discussion and agreed to take no action, removing the item from the agenda. The chair noted he had already spoken with Alderman Camacho, who could bring the item forward again if desired.
• Speed Study on River Valley Road (ID#26-03969): The committee discussed a request by Alderman Matthews for a speed study on River Valley Road from USH 18 (Les Paul Parkway) to CTH H (River Road). No additional correspondence had been received from Alderman Matthews. The committee voted to hold the item on the agenda, and the chair said he would email Alderman Matthews to ask whether he wanted further action.
• Traffic Study Review Form for Council Members (ID#26-04222): The committee re-reviewed the proposed form, which Alderman Moltzan brought back to ensure members were still aligned after statements he made at the common council meeting. Members discussed the form's purpose as a communication tool to gather necessary traffic study information up front, and whether it changes committee processes. Some members raised questions about council rules, a possible committee name change, and the need for a document/form number for easier reference. Members agreed the form would improve communication and allow more rigorous review of traffic-related requests. A motion to approve the form was made by Moltzan, seconded by Alderman Everett, and passed unanimously.

Key Outcomes

• Approved the Traffic Study Review Form (unanimous). The form will be used to collect complete information for traffic study requests and may be placed on a future consent agenda.
• Took no action on the Dopp Street no-parking zone and removed it from the agenda.
• Held the River Valley Road speed study pending follow-up with Alderman Matthews.
• Planned a referral on Frame Park signage: A committee member reported that a resident's vehicle windshield was damaged by a baseball at the Frame Park baseball diamond. The member requested three signs on each side of home plate reading approximately "Flying Baseballs — Park at Your Own Risk." The chair agreed to make this referral at the next common council meeting, directing it to the appropriate committee (formerly Building and Grounds) for approval.

Adjournment

The committee adjourned following the discussion and referral planning.
