Council Trail where there is an existing STOP sign on Marina for traffic turning onto Council. The Safety Commission recommended denying this request by a vote of 8-0. It was noted by members of the Village Board that this is a problem area inasmuch as the intersection is shared with Des Plaines and one STOP sign would be at a mid-block "r" intersection. Trustees suggested this area would be a candidate for the "smart trailer" to establish the speed vehicles are traveling and to identify violators. Trustee Clowes, seconded by Trustee Juracek, moved to concur with the Safety Commission to deny the 3-way STOP requested at Marina and Council Trail but to gather information through the "smart trailer" as to violations occurring at this intersection.
