Board Town of Queensbury Warren County Gentlemen: This is in further reference to the joint request from the Town Board and the Warren County Superintendent of Highways for a- lower maximum speed restriction on Glenwood Avenue between Quaker Road and Bay Road. Our field personnel have completed an investigation of traffic conditions at this location. AAong the 0.5± miles of 18-foot roadway involved, our - observations noted 19 units of marginal development and one Atersection. Both vehicular and pedestrian trAgfic volumes were relatively light. The factors do not meet the standards we would consider necessary to warrant a lower maximum speed restriction. Furthermore, due to the comparatively short length — of highway, there does not seem to be a major problem of exclessive speeds. We regret to inform you that we do not find it proper to- comply with your request. Very truly yours, STATE TRAFFIC COMMISSION WILLIAM S. HULTS Chairman By: LLOYD A. MAEDER Chief Traffic Engineer Chief,-of Police, LeRoy Phillips visited the meeting at this time. A letter in the form of a quotation was received and placed on file from A. P.
