Alderwoman Alicia Saunier introduced Board Bill 75 asking the city to install a four‑way stop at Virginia and Cherokee to address speeding and safety concerns near a school and senior housing. Saunier said she maintains a traffic‑calming request form to compile neighborhood requests and that multiple constituents reported high speeds at the intersection; she referenced a recent close call involving a child on a bicycle.

Committee members representing nearby neighborhoods supported the request, noting Cherokee’s retail and school access and calling the intersection a high residential access point. No public comment was recorded. The committee approved Board Bill 75 with a due pass recommendation.

The Streets Department will implement the stop sign installation and any follow‑up traffic studies or pavement marking work as required.
