Resident seeks child‑safety signs on South Main; council to consider resolution next meeting
Summary
A resident requested two 'Slow Down — Children at Play' signs at 902 South Main Street citing about 15 children and that the location is a school bus stop; staff and council agreed to consider the request case‑by‑case and will return a resolution for formal approval.
Council discussed a resident request from Brenda Kettleson for two 'Slow Down — Children at Play' signs at 902 South Main Street. Staff explained the request came from Planning & Zoning and said the resident reported "approximately 15 kids playing on this street area" and that the site functions as a school bus stop. Staff also cautioned that signs placed off the city right‑of‑way may not be visible to motorists.
Council members said they were not opposed to considering signage in this specific instance but emphasized the need to set criteria to avoid placing signs on every street. A council member moved and seconded to bring back a resolution on the next agenda; the motion carried.
