DEC i. 61974 Li
A traffic study has been completed on West 1st Street from 23rd
Avenue to 25th Avenue. At this point, 1st Street enters a trailer
park.
This is a very dangerous area due to heavy traffic and the number
of children.
Several complaints have been received from this area regarding this
condition.
Corrective action taken has been to speed zone 1st Street from
23rd Avenue to 25th Avenue to 30 m.p.h. at the point 1st Street
enters a trailer home park.
The attached diagram indicates the corrective action taken. All
signs are installed.
Your cooperation in adopting a resolution to this effect will be
appreciated.
