INITIATOR: George Gill, Ward 4 Council Member
STAFF INFORMATION SOURCE: Michael Watrous, Public Works Director
BACKGROUND: This request is for one speed table installation for Ward 4. Per City of Lawton Neighborhood Traffic Calming Policy 10-5, each Ward is allotted two speed table installations per year using general funds, and up to 2 additional requests using ward funds. A recent amendment to Council Policy 10-5 requires these requests to go to the Streets, Bridges, Building and Development Committee for consideration before going to Council, and notice to be given to all citizens within 300 feet of the proposed speedbump 30 days prior to the committee hearing. As this request was made prior to the amendment to Council Policy 10-5, staff requests that the requirements of Policy 10-5 be waived. Staff advises that notice dated February 13, 2025, of today’s council meeting was sent to citizens within 300 feet of the proposed speedbump.
