Zerwas, Chief of Police <br /> <br />April 3, 1997 <br /> <br />CREATION OF A FOUR (4) WAY STOP <br /> <br />INTERSECTION AT FREEPORT AVENUE AND ELK <br />PARK CENTER ENTRANCE <br /> <br />It has brought to my attention that the Elk Park entrance off of <br />Highway 169 intersecting with Freeport Avenue should be designated <br />as a four (4) way stop intersection. From my own experience, I had <br />a close call at that intersection because of high snow banks. We <br />also had an accident recently where occupants in the vehicles <br />sustained injuries as a result of the speed at impact. <br /> <br />I feel that changing this to a four (4) way stop intersection will <br />enhance the ability to cross safely. If the council approves this <br />request, I would suggest over sized stop signs with orange flags on <br />them to increase the likelihood that motorists would see them. <br /> <br />If you have any questions in regards to this request, please give <br />me a call. <br /> <br />TDZ/kma <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
