Frances Tdrners Clerk
Town of Queensbury
Route 1
Glens Falls, New York
Dear Madam:
26-5
This concerns a resolution of the Town Board, Town of Queensbury,
adopted under date of January 23 which requests Commission action to
restrict speed withih the Board Acres Development which is- located
adjacent to the westerly line of the City of Glens Falls . The per-
tinent resolution of the Town Board was endorped by-the County Super-
intendent of Highways, 141arren County, under date of February. 8...
Subsequent to the above specified resolution, Supervisor H. 'Russell
Harris visited this office and suggested that the case be, expanded
to include Dixon Road and Aviation Road.
The field work has been cQ mpleted and reports have been submitted to
the Commission detailing the situation. With respect to the Broad Acres
Development , the important thoroughfare from the standpoint of speed
control- is the section of Coolidge Avenue" between the westerly city
line and Ashley Place and Ashley Place between Coolidge Avenue and
Dixon Road. The remaining highways are for the most part short in
length and it is not apparent that a problem exists.
Based on present day conditions , the Commission has ordered the impo-
sition of a 35 MPH speed restricticin to extend the full length of
Ashley Place and, the length of Coolidge Avenue between Ashley Place
and the, city line. The covering order is 'inclosed. Since the highways
are on the town system, responsibility for posting in accordance with
the terms of the order and the standards of the Commission is with the
town. The required signs are the R-5 and R-6. Full scale prints of each
of these signs are inclosed. When purchasing the signs, there should
be no deviation from the specifications as shown on the prints. The
authority for the regulation is this Commission and its name should
appear in 1/2 inch letters on the bottok of all signs as shown on the
prints ,
The Commission' s Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices has been
distributed tQ-all Town Superintendents of Highways. Instructions for
posting linear speed restrictions will be found on pages 86 and 87 of
the Manual,. It is important that these instructions be followed so that
-the restriction will legally be in effect. I am inclosing an extra copy
of this letter and of the speed restriction. order for the information
and use of your Town Higbwi�
y Superintendent.
With respect to Dixon Road and Aviation Road, the Commission is pre-
pared to order a-35 MPH speed restriction on Dixon Road to 'extend between
the westerly city line_ and Peggy Ann Road. On-Aviat-lon Road, the Com-
mission is prepared to order a similar restriction to 'extend between
Routes US 9 and Mountain View Lane. The length of the proposed restrict-
ion on Dixon Road is 0.65 _- of- a mile and on Aviation Road 2.21 miles,
So as to support the issuance of the order for these two highways , it
will be necessary that we have on file a formal request for the action
indicated from the Town Board .and the County Superintendent of Highways
,The County Superintendent' s endorsement is required even though. the two
highways are on the town system. We have partially completed a formal
request =form. and it .is enclosed. On its return to this office after
having been completed by the necessary dates and signatures , the order
covering Dixon and Aviation Roads will be issued. As with Coolidge Ave-
nue and Ashley Place , both Dixon and Aviation Roads are on. the tmrn ,
system and responsibility for posting.,will be with the, town. We mention
this since it may be desirable to arrange for the purchase of all the
speed restriction signs at one time.
Our file indicates that we have had correspondence with both Mr. Henry
J,Met2ner and Mr. W.T. Clark of the Broad Acres Civic Association. Mr.
Clark is apparently the . President of the group and his,.,mailing address
is given as 18 Broad Acres Road , Glens Falls . We have not advised the
Association of the Commission' s action and you,-may find it desirable
to do so.
