Dear Mayor Campbell and Council;

Re-Conversion of Prairie & Cedar Dr. intersection
To _a 4-way Stop.

The parents of children attending the Cedar Drive Elementary
School have over the last few years, expressed growing concern
over the safety hazard posed by the increase traffic flow through
the above mentioned intersection. This flow of traffic in terms
of volume will no doubt increase, as various phases of the
Lincoln Park Gevelopement are comp]oted not to mention the Cedar
Park developement.

The projected enrollment for the 1979-80 school year for the
school is approximately 350 students, the majority of whom utilize
the pedestrian crosswalks at the intersection. At present, the
intersection is serviced by two stop signs governing traffic on
Cedar Drive only. The safety hazard is posed by the flow of
traffic eastward along Prairie Ave. turning north onto Cedar Dr.

Our Associdtion on behalf of the parents, school administration
and children, request that the City give consideration to converting
the intersection into 2 4-way stop, through the installation of
two stop signs on Prairie for both east and west bound traffic.

The installation would in our opinion be the most effective methcd
in dealing with the hazard and concern. ,

We look forward to an early reply on the matter, and thank you
in advance for your consideration of this request.

Sincerely yours
Cedar Drive School, Parents Association

Stan Pukesh,
President,
