4 2.3 Request for a Four-Way Stop at Howard/Arundel . There were severalvisitors attended meeting regarding this item. All of them residein the tlashington School area and are greatly concerned for the
safety of the school children and the speeds of traffic at Howard
and Arundel . Marti Knight spoke on behalf for the visiting group.
She covered many concerns, one being that Howard Avenue is a wider
street than the parallel ing streets, thus causing excessive speed
and also a lack of responsibility from the motorists traveling on
Howard Avenue. t,lhile there is presently a school crossing guard atthis location, the parents feel that a Stop sign on Howard Avenueis al so needed.
Staff report shows that not one of the warrants is met for a Stop
sign at this location. It was suggested by Cornmissioners that ad-
ditional enforcement may reduce speeds. The Comrnission would like
to hear Sgt. Parkin's opinion before making a recommendation. This
will be on the Agenda for December Meeting under Action Items (copies
of Agenda will be mailed to l"larti Knight).
