DATE: May 15, 2003
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting — May 22, 2003
ITEM: *10.E.2. Consider an ordinance amending Chapter 9, Section 9.503 of the
Round Rock Code of Ordinances (1995 Edition) amending the
school speed zone on Harvey Penick Drive. (Second Reading)
Resource: Tom Word, Chief of P.W. Operations
Bill Stablein, Transportation Construction Coordinator
History: The existing school speed zone on Harvey Penick Dirve was established along the
Forest Creek Elementary street frontage several years ago. At the time, Harvey
Penick Drive extended only one block beyond the school, and very few houses
existed. Since the adoption of the initial school speed zone, Harvey Penick Drive
has been extended several times, and many houses are now completed along this
street. The increase in school pedestrian activity, and the increase in traffic along
this street warrants the extension at the school speed zone to the intersection with
Norman Loop/Lord Byron Circle.
Funding:
Cost: $210
Source of funds: Operating Signs and Markers
Outside Resources: N/A
Impact:/Benefit: The extension of the school speed zone will promote a safer
environment for pedestrian accessing Forest Creek Elementary.
