Marie Delgado:
Spoke regarding the need for a stop sign at the intersection of East Street and Custer, in the vicinity of the Movie Gallery.

Mayor Craighead explained that it is customary that a traffic study is done when neighbors request a traffic control such as a stop sign. Police Chief Tommy Duncan designs a traffic study and the officer monitors rate of speed and number of cars. This is evaluated against information from other comparable intersections; Chief Duncan then can base his recommendation for or against a new stop sign.
