FROM: Peter M. Chalpin, Chairm.. SUBJECT: Mason Street
Traffic Safety Committe- Mr. Weene
At its meeting of June 16 , 1982 the Traffic Safety
Committee discussed the request from Mr. Paul Weene for
a crosswalk and signs at the neighborhood pool entrance.
In 1975 , "Slow Children" signs were installed on Mason
Street in response to a similar request. Since that time,
"Curve" signs and "School Bus Stop Ahead" signs have also
been installed. Recently, we recommended a centerline
and chevrons be installed near the pool. Also recommended
was roadside clearing. Inspection of Mason Street showed
that one of the "Slow Children" signs was missing, and that
the other one was overgrown, as were most of the other signs .
Mason Street is slightly over one-quarter mile in length,
and with all its previously approved signs in place and visible,
along with approval of the recently recommended improvements,
provides adequate warning to motorists of its geometry and the
presence of children. We therefore recommend that Mr. Weene's
request for a crosswalk and additional signing be denied.
