Meeting was called to order by Council Member Julie Johnson at 8:37 a.m. 2. The Road Committee recommended the revocations and designations as presented by staff with the addition of a state aid designation between Crooked Lake Blvd. and Heather Street along the south side of Bunker Lake Blvd. 3. The City currently has a program to upgrade the traffic control signs throughout the city. The City is divided into 7 work zones with one zone being completely resigned each year. A number of unwarranted stop signs have been identified in zone 7 which will need to be reviewed by the City Council. The road committee direction was to evaluate additional traffic calming techniques which could be implemented in areas where unwarranted stop signs may need to be removed. No action was taken on the . stop signs until traffic calming techniques are reviewed. 1 4. The Road Committee agreed that a policy should be established that in street reconstruction projects the adjacent properties should be assessed a value for concrete curb and gutter. A flat rate of approximately $850 per lot was discussed. 5. The new legislation that took effect in August 1999, reducing speeds in rural areas only applies to township. This will not be applicable to the City of Andover. 6. Under other business the Road Committee indicated that it will be necessary to further review the impacts of the proposed school to the adjacent City and County Streets. It was suggested that a meeting be held with the County to discuss this with them.
