Transportation Commission now meeting
Some administrative stuff - Barbara McKinney has resigned already - then going over 180-day orders that the city engineer has made. Apparently only one camera running; the engineer is talking but we can only see the commission.
I think you should be able to agree with motions not only with "Aye" or "Yes" but also, "Yer rootin' tootin'!"
Some confusion in how these 180-day orders become permanent, or cancelled.
@bloomingtonin
Now discussing a left turn lane going into Blue Ridge. Apparently the old traffic commission got disbanded and left the project in limbo 😂
I don't think it will help that much. It's turning south out of Blue Ridge that's dangerous. Still, if it slows people down that will be good.
Some public comment. Someone wants more Blue Ridge traffic changes. Someone agrees with me about left turns 😀 and is worried about gameday traffic. Someone is concerned about speeding.
@bloomingtonin The speeding person was concerned that Engineering wasn't enough, wants more Enforcement. (No word on Education, the third E.)
Finally, a former member of the traffic commission hopes the commission will be involved more than the old commission was.
Now a report on the Bird scooter license. Three vendors last year but only Bird is re-upping.
Wish we could see the speakers!
@bloomingtonin Somebody wants them to geofence them off the sidewalks. Yeah, GPS isn't precise enough for that.
City is wanting to license a single vendor but that's not ready to go yet.
"We've had some issues with safety with the scooters." Not nearly as many as we've had with cars! 🤨
Now back to admin stuff. There are a couple of proposed stop signs at the very end of the meeting but I'm not sure I'll be able to hold out until then!
