Announcements
Diana–suggested talking to each neighborhood about stop sign issues to share with the City DOT in order to see the issues resolved. There is a need both for stop signs to be installed at problem intersections and for existing signs to be replaced. Replacing the signs is relatively doable, new signs will be more of a challenge. Also a need to trip trees and other shrubbery that blocks signs.
