Q-21-055
Endorsers: Alderman Patricia Klee
Alderman Richard A. Dowd
AUTHORIZING STOP SIGNS ON THE CONNECTOR AT ITS INTERSECTIONS WITH CONCORD
AND MANCHESTER STREETS
Given its second reading;
MOTION BY ALDERMAN KLEE FOR FINAL PASSAGE OF O-21-055, BY ROLL CALL
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Klee
This one was brought to me much like what Alderman Jette had mentioned; it was brought to me by Public
Works. They had had a number of complaints that there were issues coming through that intersection. There
was no stop sign. As you were coming from that little crossroad there by the Firemen’s Memorial onto
Manchester Street, there is a stop sign going in the opposite direction to get on to Concord Street but not
towards Manchester Street.
It is very difficult when you are driving up from the downtown area and it can be kind of a blind spot. So without
a stop sign there could be some real, severe issues. | can tell you first-hand that | have experienced some
very close calls. So the Street Department and so on looked at it and decided that we do need a stop sign
there. And where Mt. Pleasant School is right there, there is a crosswalk within feet of this, | think it is very
important that we do have that stop sign there. There could be some severe injuries, so again, | would
appreciate a positive on this. Thank you.
President Wilshire
