    Jaime Miller, resident at 211 Rothmoor was present to discuss the speed of traffic on Rothmoor. Jaime said that there have been a lot of vehicles driving at a pretty high speed on Rothmoor going to Jensen. He said that there are a lot of children on that street and if something is not done that it could amount to an accident. Jaime suggests a stop sign put at the corner of Rothmoor and Jensen.

    Jason Popillion, resident of 209 Rothmoor expressed his concern with the number of vehicles that are traveling at a high speed on Rothmoor. Jason also suggested putting a stop sign up to slow traffic down.

    Mayor Jaquis understands their concern. The Mayor explains that he has contacted the DOT about a stop sign and they informed him that stop signs do not necessarily slow traffic down.

    Mayor Jaquis says that he would like everyone to keep track of the vehicles with their license plate number.

    Council member Benda suggests that a crosswalk for the kids to cross, going to school might be an option to slow people down. Benda also included that they should not entirely rule out the idea of a stop sign.
