Four-way stop request at Suburban and Grant

A resident request for a four-way stop didn't come close to traffic warrants — 561 and 324 vehicles per day versus thresholds measured in vehicles per hour. No change to the intersection.
Ninth Street strip mall driveway traffic concerns
A resident worries the new strip mall's connecting driveway to Festival Foods will create turning conflicts near the post office, Shell station and Walgreens. Staff will study it once the development is functioning.
