8/7/84 Page -14- <br />Mr. Hioco wasn't certain of the completion <br />date at this time. Stated he would first <br />like to go with the tree plans that the <br />company would present to Council and the <br />publ=ic; get a price and then work with the <br />cost estimate. It may have to be done in <br />2 phases or there may be enough money to do <br />it in one phase. Construction could begin <br />as soon as weather permits. He favored receiv- <br />ing public input, bringing it back to <br />Council and that a public meeting be held <br />before construction begins. <br />LANDPLAN DESIGN GROUP Mayor Meier moved, Councilman Luce seconded <br />DESIGNATED that Landplan Design Group be designated for <br />Lake Park improvements.

Madison Ave. 1 <br />Mr. Kasch stated the most urgent traffic- <br />pedestrian problems exist at Hoover and <br />West Streets, where upwards of 65 children <br />either traverse, or move during the morning <br />and afternoon school times. The nature of <br />the road curvature, and the need for a formal <br />school crossing, are primary reasons to sup- <br />port a stop sign at this location. Advance <br />warning signage for "STOP AHEAD" is recom- <br />mended as well as crosswalk striping and <br />school crossing zone signs. <br />Director Kasch wished to make Council aware <br />that none of the locations meet stop warrants, <br />and the reasons for such signage forbid sign- <br />age for temporary purposes, or for speed <br />control.
