No Parking Signs  
After further review of the accident data and sight view of the area,  
Engineering Division Manager Greg Minikel recommended placing "no  
parking" signs on the west side of North 8th Street from the North curbline  
of Huron Street to the North curbline of Cleveland Avenue. Due to this being  
a residential area and would restrict property owners from parking in front  
of their houses a motion was made to place this item on file due to data not  
warranting a controlled intersection.
