Clerk's exhibit no. r Meeting 6-9-76 To Whom It May Concern We the parents of three goys and for safety reasons , we would like stop signs put up at the corner at which we live. The corner is Arcade and Keller :'kwv, Right now the side street',Arcade, has a vine way s*op.' rye have been living at our ?828 Keller Pkwv address for a little over a year and have had several bad accidents in front of our house.

In addition to improving the safety for tl-e children, stop signs would reduce the risk of two car collisions as two cars would have to run the stop signs simultan- eously.
