Motion carried, all voting aye (3-0). DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF AMENDING CHAPTER 73 OF THE MUNICIPAL ORDINANCE RELATED TO THE PLACEMENT OF STOP SIGNS AT THE INTERSECTION OF WILLIAM STREET AND SHAKE RAG STREET. The Ordinance and Claims Committee met on March 10 regarding the placement of stop signs at the intersection of Williams and Shake Rag St. At that time the issue was tabled and more information about different options was going to be explored. A petition signed by 47 residents, many from William, Shake Rag, Harris, and Olson Streets, requesting a stop sign (rightturn no stop) for southbound Shake Rag St. traffic at the intersection of William St. was presented to Council in May. Alderman Allendorf stated that he kept a tally in his car everytime he drove through the intersection (500 times total). He counted everytime he met someone at the intersection. Only two times he met someone else at the intersection. He appreciates public concern and public safety, but he doesn’t see an issue. Officer Schrank observed 2-3 cars within 2 hours in this area. Chief Weier stated Schrank did not witness any violations or see any kids. Tom McGuire states he spends spring and summers down there and spends sees a lot of traffic. Alderman Allendorf believes this is a speed enforcement issue, not a stop sign issue. Motion (Ramshur) to recommend Council approval of amending Chapter 73 of the Municipal Ordinance related to the placement of stop signs at the intersection of William Street and Shake Rag Street, to be a three-way stop. Motion fails.
