Concerned neighbors and parents
petitioned the city to replace the two yield signs that control
traffic at the corner, saying that drivers are often seen driving
too fast or not paying close attention.
Since the renovations in Scully Park
have taken place, the park draws many more children. There have been
many near misses, and people are concerned for the safety of
children. They don't want to wait until something bad happens to a
child.
Chief Rich Montcalm was asked to
conduct research on the corner and made the recommendation as last
week's work session.
Alderman
Verl Prather said he would like to see the same attention given to
the corner at McLean and Pekin streets in front of the library,
which sits across from Latham Park and also draws many children.
