80oK61 TvF 943 <br />Engineer Orr felt there are only three things that can be <br />done legally: <br />1) take out some vegetation to improve the visibility; <br />2) possibly resurface the road as the pavement is very slick: and <br />3) possibly supplement the advance turn sign with some type of <br />flashing beacon. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked about stopping all traffic at <br />the intersection, and Mr. Orr felt that would be extremely <br />dangerous and -did not think it is legal. <br />Commissioner Bowman inquired about grooving the road, and <br />Mr. Orr agreed that is an option. <br />Commissioner Wodtke asked whether we can stop the traffic at <br />Sunrise Drive, if we can't stop it at Sunrise Drive, and Mr. Orr <br />pointed out that the same criteria would apply, and state law is <br />very specific that you can't use stop signs to control traffic. <br />Discussion again arose re the fact that this is done at Club <br />Drive in the City and that we have done it in the County also. <br />Chairman Lyons felt we need to do what makes sense, and <br />Commissioner Wodtke felt we should have a report; he felt we do <br />need to stop that traffic at some place. <br />Commissioner Scurlock pointed out that this matter has not <br />come through the Transportation Planning Committee which was <br />established to deal with such problems, and he noted that we can <br />either accept or reject the recommendation of the Public Works <br />Director. He further emphasized that now that this has been <br />brought to the Board's attention, we will take whatever <br />approaches we can to eliminate this dangerous situation. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bowman, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Scurlock, to refer this matter to <br />the Transportation Planning Committee to be handled <br />in an expeditious matter and to notify the people <br />interested. <br />60 <br />
