Traffic Control Sign Request – Craig Schlichting, Director of Community Assets & Development Director Schlichting stated several residents have inquired on the possibility of signage changes including a multiway stop for the Redwood Lane and Forest Dale Road intersection. A summary of the warrants for multiway stop signs was reviewed with the Commission.
