The second is the posted speed limit along the newly constructed '193rd Avenue. Let me start with the stop intersection. In reviewing the current design, talking with both John Anderson and Terry i~auer, a 4^way stop is NAT currently planned for the intersection of 193rd and Xavier. Vl~e believe that this is a very critical location fora 4-way stop for the following reasons: First of all, with the sidewalk extension and connection into the neighborhood to the south, this is a heavily used pedestrian route, where people will frequently be crossing 193rd Avenue to get to the sidewalk to the north. Secondly, is that the visibility with the changes in grade along 193rdand the curves near the intersection are not favorable to even a 3omph limit in vehicularspeeds. V1le have seen motorists speeding eastbound to the Xavier intersection in the winter miss the turn and land up in the yard across on the east side of Xavier. A vehicular to vehicular accident is eminent, especially with no stop sign. realize that stop signs may not reduce overall speeds from Point A to ~, however, they bring awareness to an intersection and planned pedestrian crossing. don't care if they roll through the intersection~5} like they currently do from Xavier to 193rd Avenue, as long as they are made aware of the sto si n. p g The safety of my children is the mast important factor, of course. Sure, they should not be playing in the street or crossing without supervision, but you never know, An emergency service, police or fire, was responding along 193rd Avenue lastweekwhen the road contractor hit the gas line again near our home and ran over one of the neighbor girl's cat. ~11ho knows, that could have been a child!
