Mr.Tucker moved to write a letter to FOOT requesting the signal be removed from the project. Mr. Patterson seconded motion. Further discussion included the fact that the light will slow traffic at Beal Parkway; that the officials from Ready Bank that requested the light in 1995 are no longer there and no new requests have been made from the bank for a light; and that the intersection is very dangerous and a light would be a good idea.
