She stated drivers treat the <br /> intersection as a 3-way stop and Jackson St. as a private driveway. She stated they <br /> brought their concerns to the police,who have placed a plastic `watch for <br /> pedestrians' sign but noted the sign would have to be removed once winter arrives. <br /> She suggested either a flashing solar light around the stop sign, and change the `all- <br /> way" sign under the stop sign to a "four way" stop. <br /> Mayor Dietz stated she should provide her contact information and he would have <br /> city engineer Justin Femrite review the intersection and notify the residents when Mr. <br /> Femrite would be providing his findings at a future Council meeting. <br /> Richard Davis, 19174 Jackson Ct.—stated he lives in the condo nearest to the <br /> entrance to the development and has witnessed traffic failing to comply with the <br /> stop sign. He also noted drivers failing to yield to the right-of-way when turning onto <br /> Jackson into the shopping area. He stated police monitor the area when they are able <br /> and their presence is very helpful, but realizes they can't always stay there. He is <br /> concerned with kids crossing after school and felt it was a matter of time before <br /> someone gets seriously injured or killed because of drivers failing to comply with the <br /> 4-way stop. He suggested a red flashing overhead light be installed. <br /> 8.1 Financial Advisory Services <br /> Mr. Simon presented the staff report.
