Alderman Raviguez refers stop-sign request at Wells and Mountain to committee after DPW OK
Summary
Alderman Raviguez said a resident reported the T-intersection at Wells Avenue and Mountain Avenue is "kinda dangerous," that the Department of Public Works commissioner has approved installing a stop sign, and that he will place the request before a committee for review; the meeting adjourned after a brief motion.
Alderman Raviguez introduced a constituent request to install a stop sign at the T-intersection of Wells Avenue and Mountain Avenue and said he had spoken with the commissioner of the Department of Public Works, who "has approved of it."
Raviguez told the meeting a resident raised safety concerns about the intersection at a recent police commission meeting, saying it was "kinda dangerous not having 1 there at the T intersection." He said he would "put it in a committee" and planned to consult other committee members about whether and how to proceed.
Several aldermen signaled agreement when Raviguez asked for input; one confirmed the proposed sign location as "basically stops at the bottom of mountain." Raviguez said the item was on the agenda for that evening's meeting.
No formal vote on the stop-sign installation was recorded in the brief session. The only formal action in the transcript was a motion to adjourn, which was made and seconded and followed by the announcement that the meeting was adjourned at 07:20.
Next steps: the stop-sign request will be considered in committee and appears on that evening's agenda for further discussion and any formal action.
