Aaron Rasmus, 19298 Xavier Street, addressed the council with his concerns regarding an increase in traffic speeds and accidents along 193~d Avenue. Council expressed frustration with having to place a stop sign on a road that was designed to be a thoroughfare. The process of designing this road was a difficult one and a lot of compromise was done in the process. The placement of a stop sign at this location would slow traffic but prevent more accidents and provide a safer roadway due to poor sight lines. The council discussed putting a stop sign also at Tyler & 193rd Avenue but it was decided that this location did not warrant a 4-way stop.
