Attachments: Kummer Email Correspondence
Council President Czekala explained the item was placed on the agenda
for discussion from the request of a citizen. The committee agreed the
four-way stops worked throughout downtown and helped traffic slow down.
The Committee questioned if the traffic lights could flash at certain times of
the day when traffic is lighter. Community Development Director Adam
Tegen explained that part of the downtown is state highway. The state
requires a review of any changes on a state highway. Council President
Czekala asked to have a study conducted to investigate the area and ask
staff to explore different options for the downtown and report back to the
Committee.
