4. Edgewood Avenue Traffic.
- Residents of the street appeared before the Committee. Areas of concern include speed on the
street, corner parking on both sides of the street and pedestrian traffic. A presentation was made by
residents of the street. Committee addressed the issues as follows:
Speed Limit—The Committee indicated that lowering the speed limit to 15 mph. would violate state
law. Also, enforcement would be impractical. Police Department will be asked to increase speed
enforcement on the street.
Street Lighting—Residents expressed concern over the fact that the intersection of Edgewood Avenue
and Murray Avenue is dark in the evening. The Committee requested that the Highway Department
look into the lighting question.
Reduce traffic on Edgewood — prohibition of commercial traffic—The Committee did not agree with
this recommendation by the residents. Their feelings were that the commercial traffic would move to
other streets.
No Parking Here to Corner — The Committee considered and unanimously recommended the
establishment of no parking zones on Edgewood Avenue at the intersections of Murray Avenue and
North Chatsworth Avenue.
Commuter Parking Ordinance—Police Department will survey the cars parked on Edgewood Avenue
near Murray Avenue to determine if they are residents or non-residents.
