re BB 103 – City Aldermen are not traffic engineers. The placement of traffic control devices should be handled by professionals who are capable of balancing the conflicting desires of all city residents. Leaving these decisions to politicians who want to be “responsive” to constituents just invites bad outcomes! Like most people, I don’t want anybody driving on “my” street, driving “too fast” or parking in “my” spot. Unfortunately, “I” don’t own the road, we all do. We already have far to many damn 4-way and 3-way stops. Adding more is NOT the answer!
Another stop sign request by Vaccaro? The 23rd Ward is turning into one stop sign after another.
