Charles English, a resident of Idlewild, was recognized and said he is
requesting 4 way stop signs be placed in Idlewild subdivision. He said there are
many children who skate, ride bicycles or skateboard in the subdivision and that
there are many cars that come through speeding. He is only concerned with his
neighborhood. Denise Lores also spoke saying that they are having problems out
there. The Council responded to his request saying that we should put up the
counter and Mayor Kant referred this to the Street Committee for study.
Councilmember Gentle explained that the speed counter would register speed of
vehicles and the number of cars coming through this neighborhood.
Mayor Kant reported he had received a request from Helen Price requesting
the City Council to look into doing something at the intersection of Greeno Road
and Spring Run Drive (traffic light) and requested enforcing handicap parking. He
turned traffic light request over to the Street Committee for their input and review
and asked Chief Anderson to start enforcing people parking in handicap spaces
that are not supposed to.
Councilmember Anders moved to hear Councilmember Gentle on
something that is not on the agenda. Councilmember Quinn seconded the motion
and it passed by unanimous vote. Councilman Gentle gave a report on the request
for a stop sign at Nichols & George Streets. He said the traffic counter was put
down there and that in a 96 hour period 520 vehicles passed thru this area and told
of the varying speeds. He told Mr. English that this information helps justify actions
we take on these requests. He further recommended putting a stop sign at the
corner of Nichols and George Streets. Councilmember Quinn moved to approve
this recommendation, Councilmember Anders seconded this request and it passed
unanimously.
Councilmember Gentle moved to pay the bills, motion was seconded by
Councilmember Christenberry, motion passed unanimously.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned at 5:50 p.m.
