� . <br /> REGULAR� MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, JULY 11, 19�7 Page 26 <br /> � Dick Benson, City Administrator, informed the City PETITION - SPEED LIMIT <br /> Council of the following petition for reduced speed North Arm Drive <br /> �imits on North Arm Drive, which states: <br /> � We are petitioning that the speed limit on North <br /> � Arm Drive, Orono, between Loma Linda Avenue and West <br /> Branch Road, be reduced from the present speed of <br /> � 45 miles per hour to 30 m.p.h. This length of road <br /> is approximately 4/10 of a mile long. North Arm <br /> � Drive running from North Shore Drive to Loma Linda <br /> and from �9est Branch Road around the Lakeview Golf <br /> � Course is already posted at 30 m.p.h. The feeling <br /> • of the neighborhood is that the 30 m.p.h. speed <br /> limit should continue in our area due to the following: <br /> � l. The number of homes along and adjoining the <br /> � stretch of road being discussed has increased <br /> to a point where it is now residential in nature. <br /> � There are 39 hornes affected by this speed limit <br /> . change. <br /> � 2. There are a large number of children crossing <br /> this section of road everyday. Three dogs <br /> � have been killed and several injured in the <br /> past two years. We would rather not wait for <br /> � a child to be hit to have the speed reduced. <br /> Many residents have observed near accidents <br /> � between young people and cars travelling at <br /> . 40 to 60 m.p.h. Below is a breakdown of the <br /> children in the affected area: <br /> � Nine - 1 to 5 years old <br /> � Fourteen - 6 to 10 years old <br /> Nineteen - 11 to 15 years old <br /> � <br /> 3. Cars coming from the northern rural areas <br /> � down North Arm Drive seem rarely to have <br /> � reduced their speed to 45 m.p.h. when driving <br /> through our neighborhood. This adds to the <br /> � already hazardous condition that exists with <br /> a 45 m.p.h. speed limit. <br /> � <br /> The following signatures are on the petition: <br /> � <br /> • Jon Leppla, 4040 Dahl Road <br /> Mr. & r2rs. Nelson, 4055 Dahl Road <br /> • H. Meagher, 3980 Dahl Road <br /> Andrew Dahl, 1055 North Arm Drive <br /> � Mr. & Mrs. McCurdy, 1045 North Arm Drive <br /> Mr. & t�rs. Conrad, 1015 North Arm Drive <br /> � Mr. & P�irs. Johnsoii, 4175 Firest Lake Drive <br /> Mr. & P�rs. Loughlin, 4215 Forset Lake Drive <br /> � �ir. & P�Irs.
