Susan Schafers thought <br />that perhaps the motorists would run the new stop signs, and be involved in rear end <br />accidents. Melcine Henderson indicated that there were not enough accidents to warrant a <br />four way stop. Tim Moffitt said that a request for a four way stop was made about 10 <br />years ago and the Commission denied the request but voted to restrict parking, which is <br />currently evidenced by the good sight lines looking to the south from Washington Ave. <br />Two of the four accidents reported recently involved a southbound vehicle colliding with an <br />eastbound Washington vehicle. Accordingly, Tim suggested that to remedy this problem, <br />parking be further restricted by prohibiting parking for one space on the west side of <br />Kingsland just north of Washington, since this is the “near left” sight line; the most critical <br />at the intersection. As a group, the Commission was not in favor of creating a four way <br />stop. <br /> <br />The Commission voted unanimously to prohibit parking for one space on the <br />west side of Kingsland just north of Washington. <br /> <br /> <br />2.Intersection of Kingsland and Loop South <br /> <br />Elsie Glickert, from 6712 Etzel, addressed the Commission. She said the request to <br />improve this intersection came from U-City East. She said the students just arrived last <br />Wednesday and the dynamics of the neighborhood change with the influx of so many <br />students with cars. She requested that the Commission table the issue and study the site <br />for another month . The Commission agreed to table the issue until next month’s meeting. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />V:\WP51\Mariela-Projects\Traffic Commission\minutes\2004\Minutes 9-08-04.doc <br /> <br />
