Daniel Selle who resides at 1224 West Whitney for
17 years mentioned that something needs to be done in that area to slow traffic down. It would be an inconvenience
for him as he would have to go all the way around to get to West Clark Street but, if changing these roads to one
way would help cut and slow traffic down then that's what we should try to do.
Leana Waltenberg and Dave Franc who reside at 1208 West Whitney both agreed with this traffic study. They both
said something needs to be done in this area before someone ends up hurt or killed.

study. Also mentioned maybe in the future installing flashing yellow lights to flash during the day time open hours
and/or installing speed bumps to slow down traffic.
