City Engineer Jankowski stated that a pedestrian crossing sign is usually only placed if there is a <br />path located at the intersection. As for the stop sign, he stated that he did include the intersection <br />on the limited stop sign control plan. <br /> <br />Ms. Peterson stated that she was in support of the limited stop control plan. She also noted that <br />the intersection at 142nd and Neon Street is very busy since it is the primary entrance to Emerald <br />Pond Park. <br /> <br />Jim Singewald, resident, questioned what plan Staff was recommending. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that he was in favor of the signage plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Singewald stated that he is not looking for stop signs at every intersection but, with the size <br />of the development, he feels something needs to be done to slow traffic down and he thinks that <br />speed limit and pedestrian crossing signs would be ignored. He stated that the intersection of <br />143rd Lane and Potassium is a very important location that needs to be slowed down as well as <br />142z~d and Neon. <br /> <br />Leigh Capy stated that she was almost hit at 143ra and Potassium and that she is in support of a <br />stop sign being placed at 144th and Tungsten Way also. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that it is impossible to slow everyone down even if stop signs are <br />installed. <br /> <br />Beth Schriener stated that she lives at 144th Lane and Tungsten Way and that she sees many <br />people slamming on their breaks to avoid an accident and feels that a stop sign needs to be <br />installed at the intersection. <br /> <br />Robert Wallace stated that he lives on the comer of 143ra Circle and Potassium and explained <br />that, in the summer, Potassium tums into a speedway and he has had a number of people drive in <br />his yard. <br /> <br />Mary Bauer stated that she lives on 144th Lane and Tungsten Way and is experiencing the same <br />problem that the other residents have stated. She noted that she had previously approached a <br />police officer and she was told that the neighborhood should come up with a petition to have the <br />stop sign installed and that she was under the impression that this had already been done. <br /> <br />Chairperson Zimmerman stated that a petition can be signed and brought to the Committee, <br />however, none has yet been brought forward. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski inquired how many stop signs do you want installed in the <br />neighborhood, noting that there are 33 intersections. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee/June 15, 1999 <br /> Page 2 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
