<br />~ <br /> <br />Ms. Halstrom said it was a shame that the City is concerned about Rice Creek Watershed <br />District and OSHA requirements but is not concerned for citizen safety. <br /> <br />Chairperson Hanson indicated that he took offense to Ms. Halstrom's comment and said <br />it is not fair to generalize in that manner. He then clarified that the Commission has said <br />that the matter warrants some investigation and discussion to determine if there is a need <br />for lights. <br /> <br />Chairperson Hanson indicated that there are other streets in the City that are dark and that <br />have safety issues. He then commented that he is employed as a health and safety <br />manager and spends his days ensuring people's safety and to make the statement that the <br />Commission does not care about the citizens ofCenterville is wrong. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated that the Association has been waiting a long <br />time to have its lighting issues discussed. <br /> <br />Ms. Halstrom asked whether it would be possible to install stop signs at the crosswalk <br />where residents cross to the park. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wilharber told her the Association can petition the City for a stop sign and <br />the City will look at it. He then said he agreed with the comments of Chairperson <br />Hanson and commented that the City is always looking for volunteers and he has served <br />the City in various capacities for 28 years and things can be done if residents want them. <br />He further commented that a stop sign may be good for the safety of the neighborhood. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated that Council usually follows the <br />recommendation of the police department when it pertains to stop signs. She then <br />commented that the police department has indicated that a stop sign may not add much <br />safety to an intersection because it gives residents a false sense of safety because they <br />think cars will stop and they do not always do so. <br /> <br />Commissioner McLean commented that the four main intersections should be looked at <br />it. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kilian thought the idea of the curved roadway was to slow people down. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wilharber indicated the City Council could lower the speed limit if it <br />chose to do so. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kilian commented that it would be difficult to exceed 30 m.p.h. on the <br />curved road. <br /> <br />VOTE: Ayes - 4, Nays - 1 (Wilharber). Motion carried. <br /> <br />Page 20 of 24 <br />
