Mr. Paterson asked if UCPD would have any inconvenient collecting more traffic count data and Sgt. King he does not see a problem with that. Mrs. Bondareff asked for alternative solutions and Mrs. Gutierrez explained that additional signage could be installed on Julian Ave. such as "Stop sign ahead" or "Traffic does not stop", but these types of sign would not help slow down traffic on Purcell Ave. Sgt. King expressed that this is not a heavy volume intersection and also he prefers not to be missing that many accidents on that intersection as stated by Mr. Flanburg. After analysis and consideration was given to the results provided by UCPD, and in accordance with the amount of signatures collected by Mr. Flansburg, Mr. Robinson moved to send the recommendation to City Council to install 4-way Stop Sign on Purcell Ave at Julian Ave, seconded and approved bv a 3-2 marain. 4.
