Odessa Council to decide on Reagan Elementary school zone
The Odessa City Council will vote Tuesday on whether the Reagan Elementary school zone at Grandview Avenue and 21st Street stays or is removed. Traffic engineers favor removing the zone to improve flow at a busy, signalized intersection, while parents led by Rev. Robert Scofield oppose losing the 25 mph limit and fear faster speeds. Scofield suggests better signal timing or a left turn lane. his daughter Lynn worries faster traffic reduces reaction time. The plan has preliminary approval and requires a second reading before changes take effect.
