BUSINESS A) PARKING RESTRICTION REQUEST ON THE 1400 BLOCK OF EAST` HENRY STREET Mr. Jagus said that St. Emily School teachers no longer park their cars on the South Side of East Henry Street. But he still wants no -parking on the South Side of the 1400 block of East Henry Street because cars park on East Henry Street during certain school activities.

Stratton Ln also mentioned that he used to have a problem with parked cars on Henry Street but St. Emily School teachers no longer park their cars on the South Side of East Henry Street.

The Safety Commission; voted 6-0 for this motion. B) STOP SIGN REQUEST ON HEMLOCK LN AT GREENWOOD DR Sean Won explained that the intersection of Hemlock Ln and Greenwood Dr does not meet the multi -way stop sign warrants based on the traffic counts, the number of accidents and the spot speed studies. Four area residents requested four --way stop signs due to speeding cars on Hemlock Ln and children safety concern. Four area residents were in attendance: Mr. Stryker of 1113E Greenwood Dr, Mr. Regan of 1105 N. Hemlock Ln, Mr. Frogale of 1104 Hemlock Ln and Ms. Perkowitz of 1108 N. Hemlock Ln. The residents asked why Westgate Rd and Brentwood Ln have four-way stop signs and Hemlock Ln does not have a four-way stop sign. One resident mentioned that some drivers are making rolling stops on Greenwood Dr at Hemlock Ln. Sean Won said Westgate/Brentwood intersections may not meet the warrants but removing stop signs at those intersections creates more problems. John K. Dahlberg said the Police could do selective speed enforcement starting tomorrow. Commissioner Andy Mitchell,, seconded by Commissioner Arlene Juracek, moved to install 4-way stop signs on Hemlock Ln at Dr due to the lack of sidewalks in the area.
