I think the sight distance is the key issue after visiting the location and observing cars parked everywhere on that street and other corners in the area. ACTION: _ 1. Denied the installation of the "All-Way" STOP control. 2. Approved the installation of red curb around all four curb returns at the subject intersection to improve sight distance. 3. Approved the installation of "GROSS TRAFFIC DOES NOT STOP" signs to the existing STOP signs. MOTION: J. Fortier SECOND: F. Sciarra AYES: Unanimous �� End of Consideration Calendar �� IV.
