Dawn Seifer, a member of the Calvary Lutheran Church asked the Board of Public Works and Safety to install a stop sign at the intersection of two alleys.
The alley lies between Baker Street and Franklin Street and where the two converge at the north end is a blind corner. Ms. Seifer said she had a close call there and suggested the stop sign to help with the issue. A couple members of her church have had accidents at the intersection.
Mayor Mark Senter and Street Superintendent Jim Marquardt went to the site and looked for a solution.
Marquardt said the city could talk to the property owners and offer to trim a tree that is hanging over a fence that is contributing to the blocked line of site. He said there is another tree, that appears to be poison ivy that the city could remove with the property owner’s permission if not utilities are under the root system.
After talking with the property owners and trimming the city will consider adding a stop sign at the intersection.
