REQUEST FOR STOP SIGN ar,159TH STREET/FINLEY AVE (CREEKVIEW PRESERVE) Representatives from nineteen properties within Creekview Preserve had petitioned for the installation of a stop sign at the intersection of 159'' Street and Finley Avenue to address the primary concern of speeding, both with the neighborhood vehicular traffic and construction vehicles in the neighborhood. City Engineer Dave Mitchell had reviewed the request and found it to be inconsistent with the City's transportation plan as a minor collector street.
