� r <br /> EXCERPTS OF THE <br />' MINUTES OF THE MEETING <br /> OF THE <br /> TRAFFIC AND PARKING COMMISSION <br /> Tuesday, July 13, 2004, 4:00 P.M. <br /> Item # 1 Request for stop signs at the intersection of Packard Street and <br /> University Avenue <br /> Phil Bauer opened the meeting by stating that after driving through the intersection of <br /> Packard Street and University Avenue his opinion was the visibility at the intersection <br /> was not a factor in the occurrence of accidents. Matt Newell agreed the visibility was not <br /> a significant problem and believes the accidents result from citizens driving too fast or <br /> not paying attention while driving through the intersection. Residents in the area have <br /> told him that near misses happen frequently at the intersection and are requesting stop <br /> signs or yield signs be installed. With the accident history present at the intersection the <br /> need for traffic control is hard to dispute. <br /> Staff recommends stop signs be installed on University Avenue creating a two way stop <br /> at the intersection. <br /> It was moved and seconded (Wennecker / Walker) to follow staff recommendation. <br /> Motion carried unanimously. <br />
