Discuss the possibility of stop

discussed merits of sending stop sign requests directly on to Common Council,
in light of the fact that, at the last two meetings, the Council approved stop
sign installations after the Traffic and Safety Committee had recommended
against them. Committee members feel that we should continue to do so to
provide the technical expertise and consistent application of the Uniform
Traffic Manual requirements. No recommendation motion required.
