Agenda Item #.##
Consider an ordinance amending section l 6-l 75.2 of the Code of Ordinances of
the City of Lubbock.
Item Summary
Section 16-175.2 of the Code of Ordinances will be revised to include new school
zones on City streets and add school zones that are not in the current ordinance.
The Citizen's Traffic Commission (CTC) reviewed and recommended approval of
these proposed school zones in September 2007 and October 2007.
A request from Lubbock Independent School District for the school zones was
made after new elementary schools were completed.
Fiscal Impact
The two new school zones1eA Avenue P from 79th to 81st and liN'I North Utica
Avenue from Lehigh to Jarvis)and the relocated school zone on Dr. M.L King, Jr.,
Boulevard in the vicinity of East 27th1will be constructed under capital project
90378 "New Traffic Signals." Sufficient funds remain in the capital project. The
new school zones will be solar powered; therefore, no additional electric service
will be required. Long-term maintenance is approximately $500/year. No
additional costs will be needed this fiscal year.
Two additional part-time school crossing guards will be needed next fiscal year;
unless guards at existing school zone locations are re-distributed. Funding for
crossing guards will be addressed in next year's police department budget.
Staff Submitting/Recommendatwn
James W. Loomis, Transportation and Public Works Assistant City Manager.
Citizen's Traffic Commission and staff recommend approval.
