Council agrees to draft proposal for stop sign at Eisenhower and Rockwell amid school-safety concerns
Summary
Members agreed to draft language to consider a stop sign at the bottom of Eisenhower near Rockwell, citing school drop-offs and bus traffic; they asked staff to prepare options and a six-month enforcement review.
Council members raised a second, larger safety issue: a proposal to add a stop sign at the bottom of Eisenhower where it intersects with Rockwell, a location members described as a school drop-off and bus route. One member said the area is ‘‘the main entrance for teachers, children, school buses, and also for the residents of Presidential Heights’’ and argued that a stop sign there "would make a lot of sense."
Members did not finalize installation immediately. Instead they directed staff to draft proposed language for the next meeting and discussed asking the police chief to run a six-month follow-up study to measure enforcement impact. The council framed the step as a data-driven process: install a simple posted sign now if warranted, then evaluate whether additional engineering or temporary devices are needed.
