� - <br /> REGULAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, JUNE 27, 1977 Page 30 <br /> � <br /> • l. Willow Drive and Fox Street intersection: This PETITION - Speed Limit <br /> has recently been made a four-way stop. The (Continued) <br /> � visibility on both streets at this inter- <br /> section is poor. Also, north of this inter- <br /> � section, on Willow Drive, is a very sharp <br /> curve which the average driver would travel at <br /> � 30 MPH or less. <br /> � 2. Willow Drive and Glendale Avenue: This is <br /> � a very busy intersection with heavy traffic <br /> coming from Long Lake. Often, people on <br /> � Glendale fail to stop at the intersection, <br /> causing a dangerous condition for traffic <br /> � on Willow Drive. <br /> � 3. The Burlington-Northern trail bridge: Approach- <br /> . ing the bridge from either direction, there is <br /> no visibility. It is just wide enough for <br /> � two cars to meet. With the amount of pedestrians <br /> and bicycle travel over this bridge, it creates , <br /> a hazardous condition. <br /> � 4 . Hackberry Park: This park is adjacent to 6�Tillow <br /> • Drive and is becoming increasingly utilized. <br /> The parking area of the park is situated so <br /> � as the cars leaving the park back directly <br /> into oncoming traffic. Also, there is nothing <br /> to stop children from running between the parked <br /> cars right into the traffic lane on Willow Drive. <br /> � This park is one of the City' s finest; and it <br /> • would be a tragedy to put such a mark on it as <br /> a traffic death. <br /> � 5. Willow Drive, itself, is a hazard with the wide <br /> � blacktop surface composition of traffic lanes <br /> and bicycle lanes on either side. The possibilities <br /> � of drag races and spin outs are great. This <br /> should not occur on any road. <br /> � <br /> • The reasons above should be ample for the City to lower <br /> the speed limit and provide greater protection from <br /> � the Police Department so as to remedy the situation <br /> as it is. <br /> « <br /> Mayor Van Nest moved, Pesek �seconded, to request the <br /> � staff and the State to review the speed limit and other <br /> • stated concerns contained in the above petition. Motion, <br /> Ayes (4) - Nays (0) . <br /> � <br /> � Mayor Van Nest moved, Pesek seconded, to instruct WINDMILL ORDINANCE <br /> staff to draft for the next meeting- a Windmill <br /> � Ordinance. Motion, Ayes (4) - Nays (0) . <br /> � <br /> � <br /> � <br />
