ITEM III Continued

Keeping in mind that a similar situation existed on the other
side of Hamilton Street in which the residents petitioned to have the
ditch closed and then a year later demanded that it be reopened, the
Committee recommends that the ditch remain cpen.

. On the question of the fence, it appears that a part of the
reason the fence is leaning is because the posts are rotten. The ditch
is also no doubt an additional factor. The Committee does not recommend
that anything be done to the fence since it is the homeowner's responsi-
bility to build his fence in such a way that it is not affected by any
legitimate use of the public lane by the City.

ITEM IV

Re: Requested Stop Sign on Bedford at Kingsway

A new building construction at Bedford and Kingsway has resulted
in additional traffic entering Kingsway from Bedford. Since Kingsway is
a major arterial street, a stop sign is required at this location.

ITEM V -

Re: Four-way Stop at Prairie and Cedar Drive

A letter requesting a four-way stop at Prairie and Cedar Drive
is attached. The major problem seems to be that much of the traffic
approaching the intersection from the west on Prairie is making a left
turn and because this traffic does not have to stop, the crosswalk on the
north side of Prairie is not protected. The accident rate at this inter-
section has been very reasonable with two accidents in 1978 and no
accidents to this point in 1979. Tne traffic volumes are such that a
four-way stop could be considered.

The Committce recommends that a four-way stop be installed in
order to reduce the potential hazard, even though this hazard has not
resulted in many accidents to this point.
