I I I Council Meeting Minutes May 10, 1988 John Myslajek, 1820 Long Lake Road, had carpooled in that neigh- borhood and found that particular intersection extremely diffi- cult; and believes the fact there is not a sign there currently is nota reason one should not be installed (if one is put in place, people would get used to it). Benke stated that if something would happen with stop signs on Eighth Street, there could be a lawsuit because it is not a nat- ural setting for signs. A neighbor expressed concern about children crossing the corner during the rush hour to catch school bus. Brandtasked if the bus route could be changed or if the children could wait until the school bus arrives and extends its IIstop" sign before crossing the street. The neighbor indicated the route cannot change because 11th Avenue is a dead end street. Proper encouraged the children to cross at the crest of the road where they have vision in all directions. Williams believes there is a special kind of problem when we have to direct children not to cross at a corner; believes we need to see what might be done to make it a safe intersection (engineering problem) and hopes we have a remedy before someone gets hurt there. In response to Benke's question, Putnam indicated about 12 pedes- trians cross the street at this particular intersection; Benke believes there may be a need for a IIpedestrian crossing.1I Gunderman would like to postpone a decision for two weeks to give him a chance to look at the intersection during peak hours. Motion by Larson, seconded by Williams, to CONTINUE CONSIDERATION OF A FOUR-WAY STOP SIGN AT THE EIGHTH STREET N.W.fl1TH AVENUE N.W. INTERSECTION FOR TWO WEEKS PENDING FURTHER MONITORING BY POLICE DEPARTMENT AND REMEDIAL ACTION OPTIONS FROM STAFF. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Krueger briefly reviewed staff report for just compensation for four properties in Tax Increment Financing District No. 14.
