Neuhaus reported on the visit that Mr. Meyers from the Cedar
Rapids traffic department made and the investigation of needed
traffic control at the intersections of Main Street with Park
and Reynolds.
It After receiving a briefing on the general traffic pattern
in the area, and observing what traffic the residential area
surrounding it would generally develop, it was theopinion of
Mr Meyers that no control would be needed at the Main & Reynolds
corner. - Based on his observations, he further would not install
any stop signs for Park St. traffic due to the nature of the
vehicles travelling to the elevator. if any control were to
be used at this intersection,, he would recommend that Maim St®
traffic be stopped, making Park a thru street at that point.
In this particular situation, he thought it best to leave the
intersection free of any control unless speeding was or becomes
a problem on Main Street at that paint.
Cogncil considered this recommendation and decided that even though
they tentatively planned on some control at this area at a previous
meeting, they would no go along with Meyers recommendation.
Clerk instructed to write Norman Lewis in reference to his
initial request at an earlier meeting,*
The ice ska ing rink at the playground area was discussed. Since
that particular part of the grounds owned by St . t'at's is not
included in the 'lease to the Town during the winter months, it
was felt the Town would not provide any supervision® The Town
would furnish the water and possibly an improved light , but
supervision would have to be handled on an individual basis.
