Recommendation to the city council that safety and school routes be addressed by the
council first. School routes needed immediately are along one or both sides of Potter
Street between Stetzel and Sewell Streets, and also on one or both sides of College Street
between the trailer court and south entrance to the high school. Flasher warning lights
have been installed by IDOT for school crossing safety on Hwy 6.
A basketball,coutt for the Potter Street Park was discussed as a need of the area.
Traffic accidents for west bound vehicles was discussed for the corner of Stephans and
Hwy 6. Berner reported seeing at least 5 bumper collisions, Huedepohl reported seeing
3 or 4, Petersen reported seeing at least 3'at this intersection. A wider radius for left hand
turns is needed here or turning lane capacities. Petersen suggested a red flasher at the
location. Most-problems seem to be with people traveling in a westerly direction.

dirt and businesses.

crossing, to see if the nearby location of the federal road has a significant impact oni )
emergency calls, and emergency readiness required., If the comparison indicates
