Thanks for looking into that Nick. How about those no parking signs on equestrian?

Good afternoon, sir.
I’ve assigned City Transportation Engineer Taylor Lonsdale to evaluate the existing school zone on
Oak at Gallatin High.
I’m also happy to report that the State Transportation Commission has recently approved our
request to lower the 45mph speed limit section on Oak to 35mph matching the rest of the corridor.
This segment of Oak is regulated by the State and requires their approval for speed limit reductions.
With TTC approval will come a formal approval by MDT, after which we can adjust the limits.

I believe the speed limit signs near Gallatin high school are misplaced. The crosswalk for the high
school at Flanders Mill and Oak intersection has a speed limit of 35 miles an hour. That's too fast for
a school zone crosswalk. I think you should move 20 MPH sign to the east of that intersection. That
intersection has been the scene of many accidents. It doesn't make sense to have a 35 mph speed
limit at a high school crosswalk.
I also think you should reevaluate whether you wanna want to keep a 45 mile an hour speed limit
at the intersection where the high school school teacher was killed on a bicycle. That would be the
N. 15th Ave. and Oak Street intersection.
