CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY/ TRAFFIC CONTRUL IMPROVEMENT. Mr. Block said he had found a source for left turn signals for the traffic light at 86th St. North for approximately $1,850. These signals would be for East and West traffic and would be in sequential phases. He further reported that a caution light could be purchased for 76th St. No. for approximately $5,000. This light would flash red on entrys and yellow on 76th St. North and would be in- stalled in the area between Safeway and McDonalds. The Highway Department has been asked to make a count in this area toward erection of a full signalization. At some time in the future, when this is done, the caution light could be moved to another location in the City. Mrs. Webb asked about the effectiveness of caution lights if stationing police cars in the area was not effective. Mr. Block said he had had good luck in the past with caution lights, and although it was certainly not the best solu- tion, there wasn't much choice at this time. Entrys and exits onto 76th St. N. would have to be changed before a regular red - green light could be used. Mrs. Gross mentioned the possibility of putting up signs reading "Caution -Dangerous Intersection". She also suggested trying to buy used poles for the caution light to help reduce the cost. Mr. Block said he would look into it. Motion was made by Von Stockler, seconded by James Smalley, to approve the request for Declaration of Emergency to purchase a caution light to be used on 76th St. No. at McDonald's corner. AYE: Messrs. Stockler, Spencer, Smalley; Mesdames Webb, Gross NAY: None Motion carried. Council directed Mr. Block to proceed with the purchase of left turn signals for East and West traffice on 86th St. North. 6. REPORT FROM CITY ATTORNEY None at this time. 7.
