267 Councilmember Mohr stated she supports staff recommendations that stop signs not be installed at these locations. She stated there is a tendancy for vehicles to travel on Black Avenue now rather than on Valley Avenue because of the stop sign already there, and she was concerned that if more stop signs are installed that more vehicles would travel on Black Avenue and create additional problems on that street. Mayor Mercer stated the neighbors in the area of Valley Avenue and Greenwood Road are pleased with the stop sign there and that it makes a safer crossing area for the children and their activities at the nearby school. He stated that in spite of the recommendations of the staff report he strongly felt additional stop signs should be installed on Valley Avenue, and in the long run it will avoid some major accidents. Councilmember Kephart stated he felt staff has taken the appropriate action, and withdrew his second to the above motion. The motion died for lack of a second. Councilmember Mohr suggested that the Police Department be directed to place emphasis on speed control on Valley Avenue for a period of time. Mayor Mercer stated he wanted a long-range solution to the problem, and felt the Police Department has more important things to do.
