? Parking prohibited during designated hours: The north side thereof from Hanley Road to Jackson Avenue between the o hours of 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. on every day of the week except Saturday, Sunday and holidays. The south side thereof for a distance of 235 feet eastward more or less, o from the east line of Hanley Road, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. except Saturday, Sunday and holidays. Attached is the report of the Police Department that shows no vandalism during February 2000 and August 2002. The Engineering Division has no objections to removing the prohibition in the north side near Jackson. 3.More safety for the Mooney Park Please see the attached Traffic Request Form, dated August 12, 2002, submitted by Laura and Marc Seleman. They are requesting that the intersection on Amherst and Jackson become a 3-way stop. This is to prevent any tragic accident due to the high number of children at the park. In the area were two Missouri Uniform Accident Reports during the period from September 2000 to February 2002. One was a driver that lost control of the vehicle due to the icy road and struck a vehicle that was parked near the curb and unoccupied. The other accident was a vehicle that struck a tree and left the scene. The speed limit in the area is 25 miles / hour. Of course, speeding violations are under the jurisdiction of the Police Dept. As you know, stop signs should not be used to control speed. Studies have shown that when stop signs are perceived to be unnecessary by motorists, they tend to become impatient and ignore other traffic control devices, and speed up to make up for the lost time. Due to the lack of a significant number of accidents, any new stop signs appear to be unwarranted. The Engineering Division recommends that the request for new stop signs be denied. 4.Left Turn Signals at Delmar and Old Bonhomme For information purposes see attached letter sent from Kurt Odenwald (Councilman, Fifth District) to J. Michael Dooley (Director of the St Louis County Department of Highways and Traffic). Kurt is requesting the installation of left turn signalization for cars traveling on Delmar and trying to make a left onto Old Bonhomme. According to Chuck Mc Collough (St Louis County Department of Highways and Traffic), they are preparing a traffic study and still not come to a decision.
