Spokesman for the group was Eileen Rybicki, 748 Lombardy <br />Drive. Mrs. Rybicki advised the Board that the group met with <br />Captain Sweitzer and Ralph Wadzinski regarding traffic control <br />signs and traffic enforcement in the Belleville area. They are <br />generally pleased with what has been done. However, they noted <br />that a study was to be made of the Scenic and Lombardy intersection <br />and they have not received the results of that study. It was <br />also pointed out that they requested installation of a stop sign on <br />Meadow Lane which was denied. Mrs. Rybicki said Lombardy is being <br />used as a drag strip and a number of trees have been lost as a <br />result of high speed accidents. She asked for additional police <br />enforcement to eliminate drag racing, loud mufflers and excessive <br />speed, particularly late at night. Mr. McMahon then reviewed <br />Board action in ordering traffic control signs following the meeting <br />with the area residents and noted that a number of signs have been <br />installed. He then read a report from Captain James Sweitzer of <br />the Police Department. The report indicated there has been <br />patroling of the area and officers have written forty -two moving <br />violation tickets since May 1, 1978. The violations included <br />speeding, Stop Sign violations, red light violations, no driver's <br />license, etc. He noted that most of the flagrant violations <br />take place when officers are not present, since a marked squad car <br />will deter violators. Officers in the area are directed to issue <br />citations for violations but cannot spend great amounts of time in <br />the area as they have to respond to accidents and other calls that <br />
