A North Mildred resident asked the council to install a stop sign and pedestrian improvements at North Mildred & 1st Avenue to slow traffic and protect children and seniors; the council referred the request to the infrastructure committee for study.

Jacob Matz, a resident at 406 North Mildred Street, asked the council to consider installing a stop sign at North Mildred and 1st Avenue to reduce speeding and protect pedestrians, citing heavy commercial and truck traffic and children crossing in the neighborhood.

"We have a high volume of traffic...there are children, seniors, commuters, bicyclists," Matz said, requesting a formal review and a potential safety improvement.
