Marshall Street Developments

City manager David Canada discussed our Marshall Street requests with Councilman Moore regarding vehicular traffic and Petersburg Area Transit buses on Marshall Street with Michael D. Briddell, Acting Director of Public Works and Ronald H. Reekes, Assistant Director of Public Works and Manager of Petersburg Area Transit.

Mr. Reekes is reviewing the request to re-route the Petersburg Area Transit buses from South Adams Street. Mr. Briddell and Mr. Reekes will present the requests for a four-way stop at South Adams and Marshall Streets and for the installation of speed bumps (or other traffic calming mechanisms) on Marshall Street to the Traffic and Transportation Safety Committee for appropriate action. Mr. Briddell will also address the traffic light turning issue.

Lastly, Mr. Canada requested of Police Chief Crowell to direct the City's police officers to enforce strictly all traffic laws, especially on Marshall Street.

Many thanks to everyone on Marshall Street who met, debated and discussed this matter, with special thanks to Linas for hosting meetings and especially Jeff Abugel who initiated this all and wrote a fine letter, taking many opinions into account and making numerous revisions. This is really Jeff's doing, and while it is just a beginning, I think we should all give him a big pat on the back and take notice of how much note is being taken of our little neighborhood and its association.
