/6 <br />82489.1HD <br />To: Mark E. Bernhardson, City Administrator <br />From: John R. Gerhardson, Public works Director <br />Date: August 24, 1989 <br />Subject: Speed Bum,•s Request - Deborah Drive <br />Recently the City of Orono received a request from the <br />residents on Deborah Drive to place "Speed Bumps" in the road at <br />the time of paving. I denied their request and therefore they <br />are appealing my decision to the City Council. Their concerns <br />are the amount of traffic and the type of traffic and speed. <br />Althougn Deborah Drive is a private road, the City regulates <br />and control- private roads like a City street. The concerns of <br />the residentb regarding type of traffic and speed can be enforced <br />and regulated in a manner similar to regulating public streets, <br />that being designating "No Truck Traffic" and police patrolling <br />and enforcement. I have discussed speed bumps with maintenance <br />and emergency service personnel and have been advised that <br />ambulance, police and fire are somewhat restricted in response to <br />areas with tral"iic bumps. Ambulances are becoming more and more <br />equipped with electronic equipment which is severely affected by <br />traf f is bumps. <br />Recommendation - To deny the request for traffic bumps on Deborah <br />Drive and to direct staff to work with the residents to resolve <br />the above mentioned problems. <br />Proposed Notion - Moved by , seconded by , to deny the <br />request for speed bumps on Deborah Drive and to direct staff to <br />work with the residents to resolve the above mentioned problems. <br />Ayes _, nays <br />To: Mayor :rabek & Orono Council Members <br />From: Mark E. Bernhardson., City Administrator„'' <br />Forwarded recommending approval. <br />
