Mr. Nyberg cautioned the 330 city Council about approving signs routing traffic to Peltier 331 Lake Drive. Mr. Nyberg noted in two weeks the city Council would 332 be addressing complaints from residents on Peltier Lake Drive. 333 334 Council member Helmbrecht suggested Mr. DeFoe place signs on the 335 south detour route (Birch Street) stating the number of miles to 336 the Waterworks Beach Club. 337 338 Council member Dario noted the current business establishments 339 need business to stay alive.
