Page 3 of 4 City will tighten traffic code if proposed ordinance passes Written by Lee James | The Free PressThe Santa Fe City Council in its March 25 meeting will consider a bill that will tighten up the city’s Uniform Traffic Code.
The changes will involve prohibited activities while driving, injurious materials on city streets, restrictions in disabled parking spaces and its fine schedules among other changes.
The council will meet at 5 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. The traffic changes are the last item on the agenda in the evening session. Also on the agenda:
- A request for approval of a memorandum of agreement with the Mid-Region Council of Governments concerning $50,000 in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds, which are used to provide “welfare-to-work” transportation in Santa Fe County and in the city limits where fixed-route service is not provided. The MOA usually is presented at the beginning of the fiscal year but MRCOG discovered last week it hadn’t been done, said a memo from Jon Bulthuis, transit director.
- The council will hear some presentations on the Santa Fe Folk Market, Brain Injury Awareness Month and a 2009 Legislative Report at the beginning of the afternoon session.
- Bulthuis will seek approval for a grant application toward purchase of replacement compressed natural gas buses.
- The evening session will include a number of hearings on requests for liquor licenses, including a waiver request from Lan’s Vietnamese Cuisine LLC because it is within 300 feet of the College of Santa Fe.
