Crosswalk – Cloverdale & Stanley – Mayor White stated that he talked with the city engineer regarding the signage that was placed in the roadway for the crosswalk. It was determined that the sign in the roadway was not necessary as long as there are yield signs on the side pointing to the crosswalk.
