Ladies & Gentlemen:
This past summer, we have been noticing what could be a serious traffic safety problem
within the 2-block area of the Dubuque Golf & Country Club. Although we have
approximately 9 stop signs in this area, many adults and children ignore the signs at the
comer of Bradley and Rider Streets. Children on bikes and adults in automobiles coming
down Bradley from South Grandview Avenue and from Randall Place either don't see or
ignore the stop signs at this comer.
Rider Street is a through street from South Grandview Avenue to the southern part of the
Club's property. Delivery trucks, employees, golfers and swimmers use this street daily.
It seems that the stop signs on Bradley Street at Rider Street could be turned so that
traffic would have to stop on Rider Street at Bradley Street. Also, the stop sign on Rider
Street at Perry Street might be better utilized on Perry Street as it enters onto Rider Street.
We would appreciate the City Engineer looking into and discussing the possibility of
making these changes for better safety. As an educational tool, the monthly newsletter to
our Membership, stresses driving safety and observance of stop signs in our area.
