E. Request to Review Traffic Conditions at the Intersection of Jackson Avenue and Garvalia Avenue The Traffic Commission reviewed a request from a resident to evaluate traffic conditions at the intersection of Jackson Avenue and Garvalia Avenue. The request noted that vehicle speeding and school pedestrian activity pose potential safety concerns at the location.

After studying the location, it was determined that the intersection did not meet minimum volume or accident thresholds for the installation of stop controls.

Based on a review of these findings, the Traffic Commission approved the recommendation to install traffic calming improvements at the intersection of Jackson Avenue and Garvalia Avenue.
