Chairman Bacidore mentioned that he had spoke with Chief Smudzinski to see if there were any issues in the past at this intersection. Chief told Bacidore that he does not recall any issues. City Engineer Brown stated that there is not enough traffic around this intersection to even do a warrant analysis for signage. It was discussed that a stop sign at the T intersection could be beneficial due to a school nearby, but doubts were made for the true necessity of it.

Moved by Alderman Ptak and seconded by Alderman Reynolds to deny the request to add stop signs or yield signs for southbound traffic on Illinois Street at Lindberg Road intersection and on Campbell Ave at Lindberg Road intersection.
