EXCERPTS FROM <br /> TRAFFIC & PARKING COMMITTEE MEETING <br /> DECEMBER 11 , 1991 <br /> ITEM #3 Request for stop signs on Sedgwick Street facing Stone <br /> Street. <br /> General consensus from the Commission was that there were <br /> numerous site distance problems in the area and that traffic was <br /> avoiding Jasper Street and was using Stone Street instead because <br /> of traffic operation officers on Jasper Street. It was also felt <br /> by the Commission that there were numerous cars for a residential <br /> intersection. <br /> The Commission also brought up the fact that the <br /> neighborhood was not requested to participate in a petition for <br /> the stop signs , but rather just one person made the request. <br /> Mr. Swartz stated that sometimes after an accident, people <br /> overreact and ask for traffic control items that are not <br /> necessary. <br /> Dr. Cook stated that he looked at the intersection and <br /> agreed with the person who requested the signage because �e felt <br /> that the entire intersection had poor visibility. He further <br /> stated that a yield sign would be good enough if placed on Stone <br /> Street. <br /> Bill Turner stated that he agreed that there would be a need <br /> for a stop sign and that he felt it would slow down the traffic <br /> and keep the neighborhood from becoming a thoroughfare. <br /> Bill Turner moved and Dr. Cook seconded a motion to grant <br /> the request for stop signs on Sedgwick facing Stone Street. That <br /> motion was approved with four ayes, three nays, and one <br /> abstention. <br />
