agreement. He then reviewed the next steps which include after City Council action on the
proposed Ordinance TxDOT will begin the process to change out the impacted signs and
should be done installed in a couple of weeks after action and there are no remaining
requirements for the City.
Miller read the caption.
Motion by Jonrowe, second by Gonzalez.
Jonrowe asked if ten years is the minimum or can the City appeal to TxDot to have a speed
study done sooner. Miller responded that the City can ask to have a speed study done at any
time. Jonrowe asked if TxDot had done a speed analysis in the past. Miller responded that
this is the first one they've done in the last ten years. Jonrowe asked if the City has asked
before. Miller responded that he was not sure. Jonrowe stated that she thinks the speed limits
are appropriate adjustments.
