Jessi Redden 1. Call to Order 2. Unfinished Business 3. New Business A request to install no parking signs at the dead-end portion of Larchwood Road to allow vehicles room to turn around. Harper Gardner had a constituent reach out on Larchwood. She is the last address on Larchwood. Her husband is disabled and they rely on the KRT transportation vans for everything. However, when the residents on Bridge Road access the back the KRT vans cannot turn around and will not go up Larchmont. This results in the wife having to wheel her husband down the road and the paving is not great. They asked if the city could assist them in this matter. Becky stated that this matter does not go to any other committee once they pass it. MOTION AND VOTE: Becky Ceperley made a motion that a “No Parking” sign be installed at the dead-end portion of Larchwood Road to allow vehicles the room needed to turn around. The motion was seconded by Bobby Haas and passed by a unanimous vote of 5-0. 1 Planning, Streets & Traffic Committee May 11, 2026  A Request for Quarry Creek to reduce speed limits to 25 MPH throughout the development.
