meeting was called to order at
Noel
Schoneman, P.E., nschoneman@ci.kirkland.wa.us, 425-587-3870, gave a
presentation about the Neighborhood Traffic Control Team. Because of problems in the neighborhood, the
city is forming a task force of about a dozen people with a time commitment of
about 4 meetings with 4 goals:
1 - to identify
problems and collect data to quantify the problems.
2 - to look at the
data, prioritize the problems, and look at solutions. Some of the possible solutions are education,
speed humps, cushions, magnetic bumper stickers which read, "I drive
25", and enforcement.
3 - put together a
package of solutions to take to the neighborhood.
4 - look at feedback
from the neighborhood about the package.
The package would then go to a vote by the
neighborhood, where it would need a 70% positive vote if those responding.
Four
people signed up for this committee.
Betty Lou
and Brian gave a report about the Tree Planting Program. 50 trees have been ordered: maple, ash, crabapple, cherry, elm. There was discussion about why no evergreens
are on the list and why there were only 50 trees instead of 100. It was determined that we need to select a
weekend in March to plant, we need people to plant, we
need info to give the homeowners about the care required.
