Chairman Colburn reported on the status of request for traffic lights at the intersection of S.T.H. 24 and Lannon Drive. The State Department of Transportation is still rejecting our request is for these lights based upon their traffic count. Police Chief Scholz discussed Resolution #3-83 (County=Wide Law Enforcement Information System) which was referred to the Safety Committee from the Common Council meeting held 1/11/83.) Chief Scholz feels that passage of this resolution would be beneficial to Muskego regarding the sharing of information, using a common Waukesha County computer, etc. Passage of this resolution would not cost the city any money and it would show that the City of Muskego would be interested in the establishment of a sharing system. The committee recommends the Council pass this resolution. Ald. Penovich discussed the traffic problem on Lawndale Drive in the Glenbrook Subdivision. Traffic uses Lawndale Dr. as a shortcut between College Avenue and S.T.H. 24. Some of the traffic ends up on Lawndale Place which is a dead end. The committee requests Supt.
