EXCERPTS OF THE <br /> MINUTES OF THE <br /> TRAFFIC AND PARKING COMMISSION MEETIN <br /> Thursday, March 28, 2013, 4:00 P.M. <br /> Item#1 Request for stop signs at the intersection of Folk/Walnut and Folk/Hickory <br /> facing Folk Street. <br /> Griffin Enyart informed the Commission that Fanfield residents requested the stop signs during a <br /> City Council sponsored neighborhood walk. Sight distance makes it difficult to see around the <br /> corners. There are two recorded accidents at Hickory and Folk and four recd ded accidents at <br /> Walnut and Folk. The accidents were angle collisions caused by not being able to see each other <br /> and not knowing which driver was supposed to stop. Folk Street has less traffic. <br /> Mrs. Winter asked if staff had determined that a stop sign would be more eff ctive than a yield <br /> sign. Griffin Enyart explained that yield signs are not quite as effective, especially when there is <br /> a sight distance issue. Usually stop signs are easier to see and more strict in requiring a vehicle <br /> to stop. <br /> Staff recommends that stop signs be installed facing Folk Street at both intersections. <br /> Wick Anderson motioned to approve the recommendation; seconded by Jim Chervinko, and on <br /> call of the roll, Commission Member Anderson, Winter, Garry, Meador, Chervinko, Smith, <br /> Newell, Nihiser, Enyart, and Marley voted aye. The Secretary declared the tion carried. <br />
