Southbound traffic on Lakeview Way has been controlled by County stop sign. While intersection not within City limits, Jefferson Avenue is a County arterial street, and Staff recommends traffic entering Jefferson from Lakeview Way and East Lake Way be controlled by legalizing existing stop sign at Lakeview Way, and installation of new stop sign at East Lake Way.
