ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR JANUARY 11, 1999 <br />• ( #12) OLD CRYSTAL BAYROAD SCHOOL ZONE SPEED LIMIT - continued <br />Gappa said that police would have some discretion as to when to issue a ticket. <br />Kelley thinks 40 mph on that road is too high. <br />Peterson asked if he wants it to be posted 25 mph 24 hours a day. <br />Sansevere said it is a small stretch of road and he could approve 25 mph 24 hours a day. <br />Jabbour said there is a procedure to follow to set a speed limit. <br />Gappa said that in order to lower the speed limit, a speed study must be conducted to get Mn/DOT's <br />approval. The school speed zone allows the City to lower the speed limit without getting Mn/DOT's <br />approval. Gappa said that a permanent 30 mph speed limit is appropriate for that road. The school <br />zone speed limit would help reduce the speed for a speed study. <br />Kelley recommended there be at least two or three signs on each side of the road. <br />Gappa stated that the signs can be equipped with flashing lights that can be activated at certain times. <br />• Peterson moved, Flint seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 4222 Establishing a 25 -MPH School <br />Zone Speed Limit on Old Crystal Bay Road North.
