WEIRTON — The Weirton Traffic Commission continues to look into complaints of speeding in various parts of the city.

The commission met for its regular meeting Wednesday morning, where it recommended a request for a dedicated, residential handicap parking space, and discussed two issues of reported speeding on city streets.

Commissioners opted to table a request from Ward 1 Councilman Tim Connell to reduce the speed limit on Skyview Drive and Skyview Circle from its current 25 miles per hour to 15 miles per hour.

Commission Chair Romie Castelli noted one possible issue is the lack of any existing traffic control measures on the residential streets, which has fewer than 25 homes.

“I don’t see one stop sign. I don’t see one speeding sign,” he said, explaining he had visited the area twice in recent weeks.

Police Chief Charlie Kush said, to his knowledge, his department has received no complaints from the neighborhood.

“I don’t know of any reports of speeding up there,” Kush said, noting, under state law, speed limits in residential areas are set at 25 mph, and business areas at 35 mph.

Commissioners said they felt, given the elevation of the hillside leading to the area, and the design of the streets, it would be difficult to speed going up to the neighborhood, or through the residential area, but perhaps vehicles would have increased speeds leaving the area.

“The speeding has to be coming down,” Commissioner John Castelli said.

Commissioners agreed to table to issue, and discuss it with Connell, before taking any action.

Another speeding concern came from a resident living on South 13th Street, concerning the alleyway between South 12th Street and South 13th Street.

Kush noted the alley often is used as a shortcut by motorists. The city’s speed trailer was deployed to the alley at the end of October, he reported, explaining results showed 85 percent of tracked vehicles going 10 miles per hour or under.

The alley has a 15 miles per hour limit.

“We’ve been making extra patrols through there,” Kush said.

Public Works Director Allen Hess said he could have a crew post new speed limit signs at each end of the alley, and possibly an additional “Watch Children” sign. City Clerk Kimberly Long explained the resident who filed the complaint had offered to purchase speed bumps to put in the area.

The commission did recommend a request for a dedicated handicap parking space at 104 Rhing Court, while tabling a request made through Ward 6 Councilman Enzo Fracasso to paint a yellow curb line for 15 feet on each side of the driveway at 228 Beech Road.
