This Ordinance establishes the southerly limits of the School Speed Zone as 100 feet north of the center of Cecil Lane Place alongside Degnan Park, and it establishes the northerly limits of the school speed zone 100 feet north of the center of Greenwood Avenue alongside the PNC Bank. The previous limits were 570 feet north of the center of Lakeview Drive (the southerly limit) alongside Lincoln Field and 325 feet south of the center of Greenwood Avenue (the northerly limit) at the beginning of the Pleasantdale School. This Ordinance also amends the limits of the School Zone on Pleasant Valley Way for the West Orange High School and the Kelly (formerly Pleasantdale) Elementary School to coincide with the School Speed Zone Limits.
