<br />Motion bv Council Member Broussard Vickers. seconded bv Council <br />Member Sweeney to approve the agenda with noted additions. Motion <br />carried unanimously. <br /> <br />VII. PETITIONS AND COMPLAINTS <br /> <br />Stop Sign Reauest - 73rd Street <br /> <br />Elizabeth Larson of 1882 73rd Street stated she submitted a petition to the City for <br />the rising flow of high-speed traffic on her street. She stated there has been a <br />couple of close calls with her day care children and the area has been surveyed by <br />the police. Ms. Larson indicated the police surveyed the area on a Friday <br />afternoon and a weekday at noon but the results may not reasonably reflect the <br />actual speed limits. <br /> <br />Mike Larson of 1882 73rd Street added that the police car was visible from a <br />distance, which slowed traffic before it reached the area of concern tainting the <br />results of the actual speeds in the area. <br /> <br />Ms. Larson stated Brian Drive has a similar situation with stop signs, which <br />would not make her request unreasonable. She stated there has been three near <br />misses in recent memory. Mayor Wilharber asked if the speeding vehicles are <br />local residents. Ms. Larson stated she was unsure of the residency of the drivers. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson asked if a specific time during the day was a concern. <br />Ms. Larson noticed high-speed traffic between 6:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.; and <br />between 4:30 p.rn. and 6:00 p.m. Council Member Nelson explained she offices <br />near this location and agrees with the concerns of the Larsons and would like to <br />see a stop sign at Peterson Trail and 73rd Street. <br /> <br />Council Member Sweeney stated he lives on Brian Drive and explained that a <br />vehicle travelling 50 miles per hour struck his home. He indicated that many of <br />the cars on his street do not observe the close stop signs but it is an alternative to <br />the current situation. Ms. Larson understood that not all cars would observe the <br />posted signs but she believed a greater percentage would. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson asked if the residents would prefer a stop sign at Quebec <br />or Peterson Trail. Ms. Larson stated she would like to see a sign posted at <br />Quebec. <br /> <br />Dan Bacon of 1876 73 rd Street stated his wife wrote a letter to the City explaining <br />things she has witnessed in this area. Mr. Bacon explained their traffic concerns <br />are between 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and they had seen children almost hit. He <br />stated there are a number of small children in this area with a couple day cares, <br />which draws more concern. Mr. Bacon noted that school bus drivers were also <br />observed skidding on the street. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked that this item be investigated in greater <br />detail with more accurate results to the speed of passing drivers. She stated she <br />would be in favor of a sign in the area. <br />3 <br />
