Thomas G. Martin, P.E., Director of Transportation Services
In order to comply with the provisions of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD) on locations of school zones, it is necessary to adjust the length of the school zone on
Bowman road. Additionally, it is necessary to adjust the times of the school zones on Bowman
road to better reflect the hours of operations for both Stony Point High School and Stony Point
9th Grade Center. It is proposed that the 20 MPH school zone on Bowman road to be amended
as follows:
Existing: From 50' west of Mesa Park Drive to Buckeye Lane, with time to be from 7:OOam
to 9:30am, and 2:30pm to 4:30pm.
Proposed: From 50' west of Ridgetop Drive to Buckeye Lane, with time to be from 8:30am
to 9:30am, and 3:45pm to 4:45pm.
Funding:
Cost: $ 0.00
Source of funds: N/A
Background Information:
As stated in the MUTCD, the reduced speed zone should begin either at a point of 200 ft from
the crosswalk or from the first driveway on school property, whichever is encountered first as
traffic approaches the school, thus requiring the City to amend existing speed zones in order to
be in compliance.
