As part of ` the delegation- .that

'tril+uted by Andy Brtrgess clearly noted
thatAll-way Stop Signs should not ;be
used as a speed control device tar a means
'el -deterring the movement of traffic in a
residential- area, • .
This does not mean:- not permitted -
and a lengthy discusslott was held noting
that roost municipalities in .Nort.h
' Atncrica use A11. -Way Stop Signs. for this
purpose as a, means of controlling traffic
around "parks, schools, hospitals, heavy
traffic, and'prrblem; areas.
• It wasalso brought•to Andy's. attention
that incidences..have been reported' of '
serious, speeding traffic violations. one
of -which, resulted in a, police chase.
The delegation -emphatreally refused
to, take pictures .aidveitise, monitor traf•
fic, or snitch, . We did agree to report.. qtly
incidences such as, high spend; runs oil the
street, as any other resident would.
