During his presentation Mr. Sugerman stated the need to control cut-through <br />traffic in the neighborhood. He stated that the petitions reflected that about 40% of the <br />neighborhood was willing to try barriers on Mt Vernon for a 6 month trial period. There were <br />several residents from the Musick Neighborhood in attendance; a few were supportive of Mr. <br />Sugerman but the majority was against the project. Chairman Halpert gave the residents an <br />opportunity to state their views as well. <br />The Chairman asked Sgt Michael King (Police Department) for his thoughts of the barriers. <br />Sgt King stated that he was against any barriers in the neighborhood because it made <br />emergency response and pursuit difficult. It was also discussed to possibly have the police <br />department put their speed monitor trailer on Melrose to monitor traffic for a period of time. <br />The traffic commission decided to table this discussion until the next meeting when there <br />would be enough members of the commission to vote on this matter. <br /> <br />2.Request for Stop Sign on Fullerton Avenue at Kempland Place. <br /> <br /> <br />This item was not addressed and was tabled until the next meeting. <br /> <br />3.Request for Stop Sign on W.
