Minutes, City Commission Regular Meeting 7 <br />of August 21, 1997 <br />Mr. Steven Lesnick, a business owner at 255 Sunny Isles Boulevard, indicated another <br />survey has been commissioned by the Florida Department of Transportation, which <br />should be completed by the month end. At that time they will provide further <br />suggestions. The Police Department is also suggesting a speed limit of 30 MPH and <br />pavement marking. Further suggestions are forthcoming with respect to the speed limit <br />at the bridge descent. <br />Mrs. Bonnie Kleper, Intracoastal Towers, emphasized the need for law enforcement <br />visibility. <br />Commissioner Iglesias felt it is more a matter of enforcement than signage. Because of <br />the bridge design, it almost encourages speeding. He was interested in hearing what is <br />ultimately recommended by the Florida Department of Transportation. Mayor Samson <br />thought that in the future, the City might consider hiring off -duty police officers to patrol <br />the streets. <br />After a general discussion amongst the Commission and the public, the Mayor was <br />authorized to pursue a speed limit of 35 MPH and the posting of same.
