John,
Page 1 of 1
I have a request for Watch for Children signs in the Village of Gainesboro in Frederick County.
While we have been careful about placing Children At Play signs in locations other than
subdivisions, our Traffic Engineering Section and myself agree that this can be classified as a
residential area; therefore, I am recommending the Board's approval of a resolution as follows
for Watch for Children signs:
- .Route 684 (Gainesboro Road) from the south intersection of Rt. 522 to the north
intersection of Rt. 522.
I would appreciate your concurrence and the Board's approval.
Thanks
