Gao Staff Writer GLENDALE Glendale. 1 City (1990 pop. 148,134), Maricopa co., S central Ariz., adjacent to Phoenix; inc. 1910. It is located in a rich agricultural region irrigated by the Salt River project. Glendale has become one of the fastest-growing U.S. - After getting a flood of calls from residents concerned about safety, the City Council has rejected re·ject tr.v. re·ject·ed, re·ject·ing, re·jects 1. To refuse to accept, submit to, believe, or make use of. 2. To refuse to consider or grant; deny. 3. a recommendation by police and traffic engineers to increase speed limits on residential streets. The council this week did not object to increasing speed limits on major thoroughfares, but told city engineers to focus on ways to slow down motorists in residential areas. ``If you increase the speed limit from 25 to 35, people will do 40,'' said Councilman Bob Yousefian. The city staff had proposed increasing speed limits by 5 miles per hour to 15 mph on about 90 streets to reflect the speed at or below which 85 percent of motorists drive. Sgt. Lewie Guay told the council that traffic enforcement has been hampered by the city's unrealistic speed limits. The Police Department makes little or no use of its radar equipment because speeding citations might not hold up in court if issued on a city street where the limit is significantly below the speed of as many as 85 percent of the motorists who use it. Yousefian disagreed with the argument that speed limits ought to reflect the traveling speed of most motorists. ``If enough people steal steal (stel) diversion, as of blood flow, of something from its normal course, as in occlusive arterial disease. subclavian steal , then maybe we should make stealing STEALING. This term imports, ex vi termini, nearly the same as larceny; but in common parlance, it does not always import a felony; as, for example, you stole an acre of my land. 2. legal,'' he said. However, federal research cited by the city staff shows that motorists travel at a prevailing speed they find comfortable, regardless of posted speed limits. |
