James ma, Capt.i .f Traffic
Please be advised that we have reviewed the letter from
Mr. Arthur Hill, Headmaster at Lexington Christian Academy
regarding traffic safety on Bartlett Avenue. We have gone to
Bartlett Avenue and weighed various alternatives for increasing
awareness among those using the street . Realizing that those
who use the street do so on a regular basis , and should already
be aware of general conditions , it appeared that advisory type
signing would be of little or no value. It was therefore a-
greed that a regulation change relative to parking would be in
order. Prohibiting parking on one side on weekdays would
serve to maintain a suitable clear pavement width to safely
accommodate two-way traffic. In addition, a single yellow line
would be of use at all times .
For the majority of time, Bartlett Avenue functions as a
residential street and, as such, would not require any advisory
or regulatory signing. However, we feel that slugs of traffic
to and from the school during certain hours increase the poten-
tial for problems, which exists on every street, and therefore
recommend the above measures.
