LIVONIA TRAFFIC COMMISSION
The 690`" Regular meeting of the Livonia Traffic Commission was held in the third -floor conference room at
City Hall on Thursday, August 8, 2013; it was called to order by Kevin Priddy.
PRESENT: Commissioners: John Katers, Gordon Draper, Gordon St John, and Jim Policelli and City of
Livonia Police Officer: Sergeant John Gibbs.
Visitor Attending: Eric Kuszynski, 18775 Blue Skies, Livonia (section 7).
Agenda Item 1: The minutes of the July 11, 2013, meeting was reviewed.
Upon a motion by Gordon Duper, seconded by John Katers, it was approved by unanimous vote that:
13-127 RESOLVED, the commission minutes from July 11, 2013, are approved as presented.
Agenda Rem 2: Eric Kuszynski, 18775 Blue Skies, expressed concern with vehicle parking on Blue Skies
Street in Section 7; the area is but Seven Mile Road to Margarets Drive. Eric added that during special
holidays and some weekends, vehicles are parked on both the east and west side of Blue Skies restricting if not
prohibiting emergency vehicles to respond to this area. (Note: there are no sidewalks or defined street curbs on
Blue Skies). Eric presented a reasonable argument and suggested limiting parking to one side of the street only;
this would be a practical solution to keep the east side of street open (location of several fire hydrants). There
was an excellent exchange of information to help resolve the parking concern and Eric agreed to approach each
residence and ask the homeowners to sign a petition for no parking signs on their street. Eric will provide those
result to the Commission at the September 12, 2013, meeting. This issue will remain an open -agenda item.
Agenda Rem 3: Sgt. Gibbs informed the Commission that the police department received an anonymous letter

review all senior housing complexes within the city and will advise the Commission at the September 12, 2013,
meeting. This issue will remain an open -agenda item.
