TO: Mayor, City Council, and Clerk -Administrator <br />FROM: Police Chief l <br />DATE: June 28, 1984 <br />RE: RESIDENTS CONCERN OF TRAFFIC ON LONG LAKE ROAD <br />The Police Department received a copy of a petition from residents <br />living on Long Lake Road. The main concerns on the petition were, <br />the speeds of cars on Long Lake Road and safety of children residing <br />in that area. The petition offered two suggestions for slowing <br />traffic on Long Lake Road, "Watch For Children" signs or a lower <br />speed limit. It has been my experience that "Watch For Children" <br />signs do not have a noticeable effect in slowing traffic. Lowering <br />the speed limit to under 30 MPH in a residential district on a <br />County Road is just not done and should not be given consideration. <br />Vehicles traveling in excess of 30 MPH on Long Lake Road has been <br />a problem for a long time. A possible solution to the problem wnuld <br />be erecting a four-way stop at the intersection of Long Lake Road <br />and Sherwood. Fr r-way stops installed on Groveland Road, Irondale <br />Road, Sunnyside Road, and Silver Lake Road has reduced speeds on <br />those roadways. Consideration should also be given to installing a <br />four-way stop at the intersections of Long Lake Road and Hillview. <br />In my opinion safety hazards would be reduced by installing stop ' <br />signs at one or both of the aforementioned intersections. <br />�J <br />
