ORAL PRESENTATIONS
114462 - Vickie Ashton presented a petition requesting that the city install a stop sign
at the corner of Fairview Avenue and Dawson Street. Ms. Ashton stated that a
gentleman from Marshalltown has offered to pay for the stop sign.
Councilperson Getty stated that the council will receive and file the petition
and refer the petition to Traffic Operations. Councilperson Getty stated that
the money offered by the gentleman from Marshalltown should be given to family
as the cost of the sign is not an issue. The Sign & Traffic Department will
study the intersection to see if a sign is warranted and Will bring back a
recommendation to the city council.
Councilperson Jordan asked Ms. Ashton if she felt the city would not install a
stop sign. Ms. Ashton responded that she has asked for a stop sign for the
past five years, and that there have been approximately three accidents at this
corner in the past year. Ms. Ashton asked that she be notified when Traffic
Operations brings a recommendation back to the council.
Mary Haais, 116 Courtland, stated that she knows this corner. Ms. Haais stated
that she feels Waterloo has too many stop signs, and she resents having to stop
at every block down the street.

2000 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Maucker Hall as part of the bone marrow
