New stop sign?

Just noticed an agenda item on the June 4 Woodstock City Council for a proposed stop sign on Country Club Road at the entrance to Bull Valley Country Club.

Man! You can't turn your back on government for two seconds. Did they pass it? The Minutes of the June 4th City Council meeting are not yet posted.

Why should traffic have to stop there 24/7? What a dumb idea! Was the Council smart enough to vote it down?

Is that intersection even in Woodstock?

How many crashes have there been at that corner? Any? Isn't that how decisions are made to install stop signs? If Country Club residents are a little inconvenienced when leaving home, is that a good enough reason to inconvenience EVERY driver on Country Club Road. NO!

No doubt it got approved without discussion as part of the Consent Agenda.

If you want to know what's coming up (and getting jammed down your throat) before it happens, watch the Agenda online at www.woodstockil.gov On the left side, hover over "City Council" and then click on "City Council Agendas". For detail, you'll have to go to the Woodstock Public Library or to City Hall and read the City Council packet before a Council meeting. Then show up at the City Council meeting and tell them what you really think about what they are about to do.
