Mary Ann Salzmann, also representing the Fair Board, <br />distributed a memo regarding their proposal for placement of portable stop signs <br />to designate a crosswalk on Joplin, as well as a portable street light in the new <br />parking area. Jeff Beahen, Assistant Police Chief, suggested the parking lot <br />entrance be located on the north side of the lot near the Holiday Station. He also <br />suggested snow fencing be placed along Joplin. He felt this would deter people <br />from crossing anywhere along Joplin. The Council expressed its concern over <br />people crossing Joplin at a mid-block location. <br /> <br />Ms. Salzmann indicated there has been a problem of people parking along Joplin <br />to pick up children, especially after the parade. She requested "no parking" signs <br />be placed along Joplin. She suggested the Holiday Station would be a much <br />safer place to pick them up. <br /> <br />Discussion followed regarding the parade route. Ms. Salzmann explained that the <br />parade will not go through the grandstand this year because the rodeo will be in <br /> <br /> <br />
