Background Information: The City is embarking upon the installation of 3 traffic signals within the Kirkwood corridor, one of which is at the intersection of Dove Road and Kirkwood Boulevard. This right of way is necessary to install the traffic signal facilities on the south side of the intersection to control southbound traffic on Kirkwood approaching Dove Road and eastbound traffic on Dove Road. In exchange for this dedication, the property owner has requested that the City install the remainder of the traffic signal facilities at a later date when Kirkwood is extended south of Dove Road.
