police clepart ment would review the signagern the neighborhool, identical condition at Sunset and Elmira
Streets. Additionally, Kolhoff would contact antl advise the resident on Hillcrest where the sig ns would be
placed.
Issue Two: No Parking Signs -west side & Milburn Street PNmoubn Read south to Elmia Street
Kolhoff states that truck delivering vehicles interfere with the traffic flow on Milburn Street causing a
'backup' onto Plymouth Read At present, an parking is allowed on the east side of Milburn Street After
much discussion antl some good historical perspective on the condition, it was agreed that KOlfoff would
conduct a casual discussion with the Jeep Dealership General Manager, Dave McDonald_ Mr McDonald

Mrs. Kolhoff was very satisfied with the discussion and recommer is from the commission and she will
ahead the January 8, 2009 to chase out these concerns. No further action was taken.
Leonard Sokol requested an additional signs at Eastboun l 1-96 at Farmington Road:
Leonard Sokol requested an addition sign for proper lane usage at eastbound Schoelcraft 1-96 service
drive at Farmington Road. According to Sokol confusion exists when vehicles attempt to tum northbound
onto Farmington Read from the left center and Pavement markers indicate that this is an improper turn
but the paint surface is often covered by vehicles waiting at the traffic squat intersection After much
discussion it was agreed that an existing sign (outdated) perhaps causing the confusion would be
removed_ Sokol was satisfied with this action.
