SGA Resolution 07-10-F
A Resolution to increase the speed limit of Alumni Drive to 25 mph
Whereas:
Middle Tennessee State University has a 15 mile per hour speed limit on Alumni Drive
and this fact presents a problem when several cars are stuck one behind another in 15
mile per hour traffic.
Whereas:
Traffic incidents on Alumni drive are few and far between and a small increase in the
speed limit would not be detrimental to public safety or the overall goal of providing a
safe route of transportation for the students of Middle Tennessee State University.
Whereas:
There has been an outcry by many to me as a representative of The Student Government
Association of Middle Tennessee State University to look at the possibility of increasing
the speed limit on Alumni Drive.
Whereas:
The Student Government Association of Middle Tennessee State University was put in
place for the sole purpose of serving as a voice for the campus.
THEREFORE, LET IT BE RESOLVED BY THE 73nd CONGRESS OF THE STUDENT
GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY
THAT:
Section 1:
The speed limit on Alumni drive be increased to 25 miles per hour.
Section 2:
A study is done between the school and parking services to look into the feasibility of
instituting a permanent walking/biking lane on each side of alumni drive to encourage
pedestrian travel and also encourage the use of such travel as an alternative to forms of
transportation that may harm the environment.
