Ordinance No. 5678 to strengthen the requirements for new

Petition On motion of Mr. Burkhalter, seconded by ML . Willcoxon, the
Truck Traffic following petition to restrict truck traffic on a portion of
Hough Park Hough Park Road was referred to the Parking and Traffic Commission . ;
Road. "1 . We, the undersigned property owners and parents of many small
school children request of the City Council that a sign prohibiting '!
through truck traffic be placed at the intersection of Greenberry
Road and the entrance to Hough Park Road.
2. We also request of the City Council that a 20-mile speed zone
sign be placed at the intersection of Isom Drive and Hough Park Road.
Reason for #1 is : We the property owners were solicited to pay
for the improving and rebuilding of Hough Park Road, this appeal
was made to us because we needed a better road for the school
children attending Moreau Heights School. We paid for this
rebuilding and improvement , and now we learn that traffic has
increased tremendously since the improvement of this street, heavy
trucks are making this street a far more hazardous street for the
children attending school . For this reason, and this reason only
(protection of our children) we URGE that action be taken
immediately upon the above request .
Reason for #2 is: There is a 2U-mile zone sign on Greenberry Road
but for the four block stretch, and the fast dropping grade, there
is no "reminder" sign which apparently causes motorists to disregard
the signs at the entrance to bough Park Road and Greenberry Road
intersection.
The combination of the two hazards listed is in direct disregard to ,
the intentions of making Hough Park Road a safe street for our a
children ."

Bxpressview 7280/ "An Ordinance of the City of Jefferson, Missouri, changing
Drive. the name of a portion of Schott Road, a public thoroughfare within
