The third most preferred solution is installing motion sensors that could tell the pedestrians to stop if they begin crossing when they are not supposed to. They also found that this is a very cost effective and a more short term solution. The fourth most preferred solution is providing more crosswalks throughout Collins Avenue. As you can see, our Middle School students are very aware and concerned about pedestrian safety, and they want to bring their voice and their ideas to the Commission. Mayor Scholl said his favorite part was you showed him that you guys are very well informed when you said you contacted the State and the County because most people in the City do not understand what you already understand which is that Collins Avenue in particular we have very little control over it. In addition to that we can take your ideas and we can also reach them and advocate with them. But the fact is that you guys did your homework and most people that live here don't understand that point. You did a very good job. 6. ZONING: ZONING HEARINGS ARE QUASI-JUDICIAL PUBLIC HEARINGS. 6A.
