3-WAY STOP FOLLOW-UP
Police Chief Rick Elliott is reporting on a follow-up on the 3 way
stop at Ruck and Ridgeway Drive, which was brought to Chief Elliotts
attention again by Mrs. Leslie Zelli. We went back and re-evaluated
this area and determined that it would cause more problems than
solving them. If we made another 3 way stop it would be putting ~
School crossings in a 2 block area. We had Mr. Milt Clayton from the
Greater Clark Schools survey it and he came up with the same findings
as we did. So we will drop this suggestion.
