HomeMy WebLinkAboutAprilA Volume 27, No. by the Traffic Task Force During our tenure as members of the Traffic Task Force, we've been edu- cated by experts in the fields of traffic law, enforcement, engineering, and calming. We have identified some com- mon misconceptions about traffic. The following are some of the misconcep- tions most often heard. - Lower speeds to 20 MP throughout the City. State law sets a general speed limit of 30 MPH for ur- ban areas. By City ordinance, some spe- cific streets are posted for 20 MPH, mostly near the school and parks. Bissonnet, which is controlled by the City of Houston, is posted for 35 MPH. Traffic engineering studies show that posting lower speed limits does not change most people's driving habits. We receive as many complaints about speeding on streets posted 20 MPH as those posted 30 MPH. - Stop signs slow traffic. Put in more. Every intersection should be a 4-way stop. West U has 590 stop signs and 20 traffic signals in an area measuring 1 by 2 miles. The purpose of a STOP sign is to assign right of way through an intersection-not to control speed along the street. Installing a stop sign at the end of a block commonly in- creases mid-block speeds. Furthermore, we find that compliance is low at an in- tersection with multiway stop signs per- ceived to be unwarranted by the public because motorists know there is seldom any cross traffic. Slowing traffic can be accomplished more effectively by traffic calming de- vices and enforcement. However, en- forcement works best (and often only) when an officer is visible. This is in con- trast to traffic calming devices that are always in place. Traffic enforcement is lax in West U. Do more - it will solve the prob- lems. West U Police spend consider- able efforts on traffic enforcement - at least two officers are devoted to traf- fic issues daily. In 1999, they issued 5,627 traffic citations and 1,323 parking cita- tions. Our Traffic Court does not go easy on offenders. Chief Begley has made traffic en, forcement a priority. The City recently made an agreement with Metro to "po- lice" some of our streets, adding to our enforcement efforts. However, if a Po- lice presence is not visible at all times, most drivers revert to their old ways. Unfortunately, the Police can't be on ev- ery street 24 hours a day. The TTF is recommending other ways to slow down speeders. Match for more from the TTF next month in City Currents.

There is rea- son to think some good things are hap- pening in West U. For several weeks now, I have driven, walked and biked the streets of my neighborhood and no- ticed two things. First, fewer and fewer cars are parked in the wrong direction or too close to intersections. Second, drivers are remembering to pull their vehicles forward off the sidewalk, al- lowing walkers/joggers safe passage. I would like to think that these changes are occurring because we residents are developing a consciousness that our ef- forts to do the right thing can make a difference. Indeed, they do! The other reason for improved circumstances is the effectiveness of our police force, boosted by the recent addition of two new officers. Police visibility is in- creased throughout the community, and officers are making a real effort to en- force (in a friendly manner, of course) the laws that residents hold dear. There may never be a time when ev- erything is perfect, but all of us, Council and city staff, are working diligently to respond to the issues that you have told us are important. If all of us continue to do our part to make West U a safer place to live, we will have a shared success. Thanks for your help. by Council Member Dr. John Bertini The~area of land from the inside edge of your sidewalk out onto the street does not belong to you as a homeowner. This area is part of what is known as the right of way (ROW). With our infrastructural renewal, concern about enhancement of street lighting, discussions about side- walks, new legislation concerning tele- communication facilities and the like, this area of land will become much more active in the years to come. In many places throughout our city, the right of way has been beautifully land- scaped by citizens owning property ad- jacent to it. Recognizing that, the City has spent over a million dollars to pro- tect trees that are located on these right of ways during the infrastructure. Street lighting in our city needs reevalu- ation, as many of our current street lights simply illuminate the canopy of trees. Since they were erected over thirty years ago, new designs in lighting technology have made street lights more attractive, more energy efficient, and better at illu- minating our streets and sidewalks for safety and convenience. Nearly 80% of our city has adequate sidewalks. The remaining percentage is either lacking sidewalks or needs sig- nificant sidewalk repair. In any case, a way is i . good sidewalk system needs to be avail- able and used to get citizens off the street, since walking in the street where a sidewalk is provided is illegal by state law. Where sidewalks exist, because they are on a right of way, the state has a prevailing interest to assure that they are unobstructed. As such, construc- tion equipment, garbage, and cars may not obstruct sidewalks. Recent state legislation has made the right of way available to telecommuni- cations companies. By federal law we are unable to restrict this access; how- ever, we can control it. Digging and construction in the area between the end of your property and the street will be- come more frequent, and as such, needs to respect the rights of privacy and safety of the adjacent property. In the coming months and years we are likely to see increased activity both below and above the right of way, and into the streets and up beyond the curb. A lot of what we can and cannot do is restricted by federal and state law and runs counter to preconceived notions of many of our citizens. It will be impor- tant for all to become knowledgeable about the strip of land in front of and sometimes alongside our homes. Your suggestions and comments are welcome, as City Council and other boards and commissions take a look at the demands placed on the right of way so that we can assure its use is safe, aesthetically pleasing, and within the requirements of the law, while minimizing the impact of those whose homes lie behind or beside this public space.

I came to West U from a 23-year career in the Odessa Police Department. Since 1991, the major crime rate in Odessa has been reduced by more than 60%, traffic problems have been significantly reduced, and juvenile problems are on the decline. This was accomplished simply by looking backwards. My grandfather was a policeman in Massachusetts. He knew everybody in his neighborhood and everything about them. And they knew him. There was a sense of police omnipresence and the knowledge that if my grandfather didn't see them commit a crime, there was a very good chance that somebody in the neighborhood would and would tell him. This was the original "community oriented policing". Unfortunately, we "progressed" and became a nation policed by strangers. Beginning in 1991 in Odessa we reunited police and the citizens they served. We looked for ways to increase understand- ing and empathy, to increase communi- cations, and to unite police and citizens in a united front to combat crime and to maintain the quality of life we all want. There were a number of initiatives which became part of our overall efforts, the backbone of which was Neighborhood Watch. In West U, the Neighborhood Watch program has not been very active for the past several years. One of my early acts as Chief was to find a person to take the program over and make it work. I found the right person in Officer Sean Anderson. He is working closely with the Neighborhood Safety Board to get the program back on track and active in West U. Thus far, there are two watch programs being formed with more on the way. I encourage each of you to become involved in this program. If there isn't a program on your block, consider being the Block Captain and starting one. If a program already exists, consider attending a meeting and joining. Officer Anderson is ready to answer any questions and to assist in any way possible in making Neighborhood Watch work in your neighborhood. He can be reached at 713.668.5869 or via e-mail at Sanderson@ci.west-university- place.tx.us. & Safety by Patrick Dugan, Neighborhood Safety Board member Adapted in part from a circular of the West U Police Department. Walking or jogging are excellent forms of exercise pursued by West U residents. Although West U provides a safe environment, it is a good idea to follow certain basic safety precautions to keep the possibilities for serious injury remote. When using the streets, be aware that you are in a public roadway with cars, trucks and other traffic. Drivers may not be attentive to your presence. Addition- ally, walkers and joggers are sometimes the target of certain types of crime, such as assault. For safety's sake, keep the following in mind. • Use sidewalks where their condition permits it. • When walking or jogging in streets, always face the flow of the traffic. • Go with a friend or in a group, but be sure no more than two or three people are side-by side. • When crossing the street look thrice - look left, right, and left again for traffic before crossing. • Never assume that a driver sees you, and be particularly careful of cars back- ing out of driveways. • When walking or jogging at night, wear bright colors or reflective clothing. Deep in mind that lighting levels are particularly low on certain West U streets. • It is best not to use a Walkman or other portable music players. However, when you do, keep the volume low or use a single earplug in order to hear traffic. • Consider carrying a cell phone, personal alarm or whistle and use it if you are injured or feel threatened. • Always be aware of your surroundings. Walkers and joggers are likely to be in deep thought, conversation, or listening to music, but so are drivers. Remember to stay alert! FA ® ' plastile, by Steve Stelzer, West U Recycling and Solid Waste Reduction Board member - Plastics account for under 10% of municipal solid waste in Texas - paper is the main contributor. Plastics are judged to take 200 years to degrade in the landfill. Consequently, recycling is a much better option. All plastics are technically recy- clable, but not much is economical to recycle. Therefore, only PET and HDPE can be recycled in West U. When it becomes feasible, West U will endeavor to recycle as many of the other types of plastics as possible. PET and HDPE account for more than 67% of postconsumer recycled plastics. EPA national estimates for 1997 indicate that PET soft drink bottles had a recy- cling rate of 37.3%, while HDPE (milk jugs) containers were recycled at a rate of 31.3%. A variety of efforts around the country are geared toward increasing the amount of recovered plastics used in beverage containers. The primary market for re- covered PET, however, is polyester fiber for carpet and clothing, while recovered HDPE is used for detergent, motor oil, and cosmetic (e.g., shampoo) bottles as well as film, drainage pipe, pallets, and plastic lumber. The plastic lumber industry, in particular, continues to grow, producing durable and efficient alternatives to wood. In an effort to increase consumer confidence and sales, the plastic lumber industry continues to work to develop standards and specifications for its prod- ucts. In addition, PET is being used to make fleece outerwear, strapping, and clear packaging, and one recycler is using plastics from discarded computers in new filler for highways. (EPA) Widely accepted, including West U • Type 1 & 2 - PETE, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) & HDPE, High-Density Polyethylene. Not accepted in West U • Type 3 & 4 - V, Vinyl/Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) & LDPE, Low-Density Polyethylene. • Type 5, 6 & 7 - PP, Polypropylene; PS, Polystyrene; & Other, Layered or Mixed Plastic. Page 6 conserve water and maintain low water rates to the customers. We are reviewing automated meter reading systems. AMR would include the installation of high quality meters with electronic registers and radio transmitters. This would permit accurate measurement of all water consumed by the customers, reduce water loss caused by inaccurate meters and provide superb customer service. We will also pursue purchasing of Leak Noise Correlation equipment in the year 2001 budget. This equipment will provide us the ability to detect and repair underground leaks.
