Present were Safety Director Gundy, Council President Boehmer, Councilmen Leonard and McKay. The following items were discussed: a. The Recreation Commission's request for 25 miles per hour on Bradley Road west of Barton. The committee agreed with the suggestion and a request will be sent to the State for a traffic study. b. A request for no parking on both sides of Fairfax. Since there already is no parking on the fire hydrant side of the road, the committee felt the request would be a hardship on residents. c. A request for a stop sign at the northwest corner of North Park and Martin Drives. A number of accidents have. occurred there, and the bike path stops near that intersection. For these safety reasons, the committee feels a stop sign is warranted acid will request legislation.
