Wayne Carter, audience, said he has lived on 55th Avenue South for 9 years, and all of this time there has been a sight distance problem. When you approach from the west, the left turn on to 55th from So. 144th, there is a very bad sight distance problem. He suggested adding another "dangerous intersection ahead" sign about 50 yards east of the intersection. The traffic going west on South 144th is exceeding the speed limit making it difficult to make the left turn at a safe speed. Mayor Van Dusen turned the problem over to the Public Works Director for study.
