EXCERPTS FROM <br /> - TRAFFIC & PARKING COMMITTEE MEETING <br /> NOVEMBER 18, 1992 <br /> ITEM #1 - Request for stop or yield signs at Calhoun Street and <br /> Main Street. <br /> Swartz opened the floor to citizen comments. <br /> Mr. Hilliard began by saying that someone from the City <br /> came out and put traffic counters in the area, but the area has <br /> a lot of other neighborhood problems which keep getting worse. <br /> Schiller did not notice a problem with speeding in the area <br /> when he was there. He is in favor of controlling the northbound <br /> and southbound traffic, but does not feel it is necessary for <br /> the east/west traffic. <br /> Moss agrees with Schiller. <br /> Curlin stated that, based on the accident history, he would <br /> agree with staff recommendation for yield signs. <br /> Newell stated yield signs would not necessarily be the <br /> solution. He would like to put them up and make an evaluation <br /> at a later time. It is a fairly heavily traveled street. It <br /> would not be out of the question that stop signs in one direc- <br /> tion might be appropriate in the future. <br /> Schiller asks if it would be possible to evaluate the <br /> traffic count and the average spee3 after a month. <br /> Bauer did not notice traffic moving at excessive speeds, <br /> nor did he rrotice a lot of traffic. He did notice a tree on the ' <br /> northeast corner of the intersection which blocks the view. <br /> Barthelemy agrees with Mr. Hilliard that there are a lot of <br /> problems in the neighborhood. He commented that a yield sign is <br /> harder to enforce than a stop sign. He would be in favor of <br /> stop signs on Calhoun for north/south traffic. <br />
