STOP SIGNS - CRANSHIRE Several residents from the neighborhood
COURT /CASTLEWOOD LANE of Cranshire and Castlewood attended a
Safety Council meeting to express concern
regarding the safe movement of traffic at the intersection. The
presence of a water dam has caused drivers to use it as a ramp to
launch their cars in the vicinity of the intersection. Police
officers have ticketed violators for driving too fast for
conditions and launching their vehicles in this manner. The Safety
Council recommended stop signs for both westbound and eastbound
Cranshire traffic.
Trustee Rosenthal commented that stop signs without enforcement are
not effective and suggested the residents notify the police when
violations occur. Kevin Caraher, 1150 Castlewood, advised the
Board that police have been called when violations occurred and he
and his neighbors will continue to do so.
Trustee Seidman moved, seconded by Trustee Swartz, that the Safety
Council's recommendation be accepted and the Attorney directed to
prepare the necessary Ordinance. Motion carried unanimously.
