​10/24/16 SNNA Minutes
Called to order by SNNA President Lindsey Cox at 6:05pm at 1401 5th Ave N (Industrial Strength Marketing)
Attendance records have been retained for reference.

1. Approval of August and September 2016 Minutes was tabled until next month.
2. Representatives from the Traffic Calming Office were there to present the findings of the most recent traffic study performed in Salemtown. The study consisted of tracking the number of cars that passed through the streets of the neighborhood and how fast they were traveling. Germantown and Salemtown have partnered for a comprehensive plan to evaluate traffic/lighting/sidewalks in both neighborhoods. The following information is in addition to that separate plan.
   1. Speeds are generally lower than the 30mph speed limit, due to the characteristics of our streets. A request to lower the speed limit would need to go through the traffic and parking commission. There is a mixture of four way and two way stops in the neighborhood. Metro Public Works would be need to make the decision to change a two way into a four way.
      1. The neighbors that were present generally agreed that although it was good that the average speed of drivers was not above the speed limit, but also felt that due to the congestion and street parking that 30mph was too fast. We were informed that we cannot have speed bumps installed.
3. The section of Coffee between 3rd and 4th is very narrow. Too narrow to allow for street parking. Lindsey will be contacting the people whose homes face this street to discuss No Parking signs.
4. There are a number of options to help organize street parking and increase visibility at 2 and 4 way stops. The Traffic Calming Office will be putting together a detailed list of suggestions and providing them to the SNNA board.
