She <br />requested that the existing stop signs (along Balson) next to the stadium be moved <br />EAST as follows: <br /> <br />For eastbound traffic, a stop sign on Balson at the entrance of Jackson Park <br /> <br />o <br />Parking lot; and, <br />For westbound traffic, a stop sign on Balson at the existing crosswalk <br /> <br />o <br />between the School building and the Jackson Park parking lot. Due to <br />visibility reasons, 2 signs are requested; one on each side of the road (one <br />along the sidewalk and one in the median). The one in the median is needed <br />because sometimes there are buses parked and the sign could be blocked. <br /> <br />The commissioners discussed and took into consideration that the School <br />representatives are not requiring more stop signs, just their relocation. School <br />representatives explained that the path were the existing signs (near the stadium) <br />are located is not highly traveled. The new location of the signs will improve the <br />safety for school kids. <br /> <br />The Traffic Commissioners voted unanimously to recommend the <br />relocation of the signs the way requested. <br /> <br />2.Parking restriction for Lafon, Mapleview, Teasdale and Westview Drive <br /> <br /> <br />To address this request, Joan Botwinick, Chair of the University View Neighborhood <br />Association and Nancy Sachar were present. They are requesting that parking be <br />restricted to residents and their guests between 12 noon and 9 p.m. every day for <br />the streets of Lafon, Mapleview, Teasdale and West view. <br />V:\WP51\Mariela-Projects\Traffic Commission\minutes\2005\Minutes 1-12-05.doc <br /> <br />
