The introduction of <br />multi -way stop sign control at three intersections on Lee Street did not <br />reduce traffic volumes. <br />Siqnificant traffic volume reductions occurred following the opening of <br />parallel major and collector streets in the area. <br />OJO <br />page 9 of 12 <br />0487T <br />
