ment have installed a "No Left Turn" sign on Plymouth Road at the intersection
of Merriman Road and propose to install a "No Left Turn" sign on Plymouth
Road at the intersection of Hubbard Road; and
WHEREAS' it is the opinion of the Council that the installation
of such signs will cause undue and dangerous traffic hazards and will also
divert traffic through certain residential sections of our City and will
also make access to St. Michael's Catholic Church, Rosedale Gardens Presby-
terian Church and Rosedale School both dangerous and inconvenient;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Council. does herein request
the Board of Wayne County Road Commissioners and the State Highway Department
to eliminate the "No Left Turn" sign presently on Plymouth Road at the inter-
section of Merriman Road and to reconsider their proposed action to install
such a sign on Plymouth Road at the intersection of Hubbard Road, and request
that a limited type of "No Left Turn" signs be installed at such intersections
as a more practical and safe method for handling traffic conditions at those
locations.
