Elizabeth Ruiz- What is the plan to increase the visibility for cars that are coming off the side streets of Clifton Blvd?Do you plan on possibly lowering the speed on Clifton to 25mph closer to the Cleveland Border?Perhaps speed tramps bumps or mirrors on the corners to assist in visibility and speed. I believe ifwe had more police present during certain hours similar to Lindale then people would avoid speeding in these areas. Charles Rowe -I think that more discussion/ideas need presented before making any decisions. New here but I did submit an email which was too long to copy/paste here. For now we just make sure we enforce our current laws to the fullest. Maddie Syrowski - In some locations, restricting parking is appropriate, but I encourage the city to look into alternative safety precautions when possible, as there is already a shortage of available parking within Lakewood in many neighborhoods. I would like the city to consider implementing speed bumps or other speeding deterrents along Clifton Blvd, as well as installing mirrors at intersections with low visibility,where possible.A short list of particularly low visibility intersections. Clifton Blvd-Fry Ave, Clifton Prado-Beach Ave,Manor Park-Detroit, Winchester- Franklin (line of sight obscured by a fence when driving southbound),Robin-Thrush. Of course, there are many more, but these are the ones I am most familiar with.Also,what will be done to address the other aspect of the collision at Clifton and Fry-driving under the influence? Michael Hellyar-First, how do we prevent accidents,fatal or otherwise?All we can do is reduce the probability of them occurring so we can start there. The traffic lights on Clifton go into blinking yellow at IIpm and return to normal operation at lam, this means you can drive straight through our city without stopping or ever slowing down. Place the lights in normal operation 2417, this should reduce excessive speeds, not eliminate but reduce, and better control the flow oftraffic thus reducing the probability of an accident occurring. That's just a quick simple action that can side in the issue at hand. The real problem is the illegally parked cars that are parked not only inside the 20ft clearance ofan intersection but all the way to the corner. Max couldn't see anything, I know because I, like many of us, have been in that scenario and it's unnerving. That car parked on Clifton was to the corner. The city needs to start towing anyone inside the 20ft from an intersection, double fine A roll call vote was taken as follows: Yeas —Bullock, Kepple, Litten, Neff, O'Malley, Rader, Shachner Nays —None Motion passed.
