An ORDINANCE TO AMEND TITLE III TRAFFIC CODE FOR A STOP CONTROL RESTRICTION ON DEMUN AVENUE AT SOUTHWOOD AVENUE
City Manager Gipson reported that in January of 2017, a stop sign was installed along southbound DeMun Avenue at Southwood Avenue to address safety concerns for motorists turning from Southwood Avenue onto DeMun Avenue. Parking along the center median made seeing some southbound vehicles on DeMun Avenue difficult. During recent communications with residents and feedback from the Livable Community Plan engagement, we heard concerns about southbound users assuming the northbound users also have a stop sign which can lead to confusion at the intersection. Additionally, proposed enhancements for this area within the Livable Community Plan identify the installation of a stop sign at this location. Passage of this ordinance is necessary to modify the traffic code to install a stop sign on northbound DeMun Avenue at Southwood Avenue
Richard Whitburn, Principal Civil Engineer, Department of Public Works, addressed the Board to answer questions. Alderman McAndrew introduced Bill No. 7043, to approve the amendment to modify the traffic code to include stop control on northbound DeMun Avenue at Southwood Avenue to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Buse seconded.
Absent: Becky Patel, City Manager Gipson
