�� Councilman Rhodes moved to place stop signs wherever they could legally be put, whether sidewalks are put in or not. Councilman Arnett suggested maker of the motion might want to change it somewhat, to recognize one location is in County jurisdiction (East Lake Way and Mohican), and felt request should be made to the County to put in stop signs. In additional discussion, it was questioned whether placement of the requested signs would serve to be a greater hazard, and Police Chief responded that from what he had observed where stop signs have been installed, children become used to it and less cautious, and someone will run the stop sign. There was further discussion concerning the width of the street and the fact that drivers often do not stay on the right side of the road, and it was noted this was a traffic enforcement problem. Councilman Rhodes' motion was restated, that stop signs be installed at East Lake Way and Seminole Way, and that the request for stop sign at East Lake Way and Mohican Way be referred to the County, seconded by Council- man Arnett. Motion LOST on roll call vote, Councilmen Arnett and Rhodes voting yes; Councilmen Henderson, Petersen, Weymouth and Mayor Bury voting no, and Councilman Keckley being noted absent. Council requested that Police Chief check availability of warning signs, and assist the residents in getting them properly located and also to check into the matter of drivers using the wrong side of the street. Police Chief indicated the signs would be a matter for the Traffic Committee to review, and that the second matter would be a matter of enforcement which he intended to look into.
