Resident urges new stop sign near Cedar Hill Cemetery to protect child bus riders; council to meet with school transportation
Summary
A resident requested a stop sign at Maple/Summit near Cedar Hill Cemetery because of sight-line and speed concerns for a child walking to the bus; council agreed to coordinate with school transportation and field-check options including alternate pickup points (bus 59).
At the meeting a resident asked the council to consider installing a stop sign on Summit Street near the Cedar Hill Cemetery entrance to protect a child who walks to a bus stop before dawn. The resident described limited sidewalks on the hill and fast-moving traffic around a raised cemetery road that reduces sight lines.
Council members and staff discussed measurements for semi-truck lengths, sight-line constraints and potential impacts on bus routing. The resident said she had contacted Brad Ford in school transportation; council members agreed to arrange a site visit with the school transportation official to discuss alternate pickup options such as using bus 59 at a brighter corner and to test sight lines for a possible stop-sign placement.
No traffic control change was approved at the meeting; the council directed staff to meet with school transportation and to report possible mitigation measures back to the council.
