Council Discussion <br />• Stop signs on East Amazon have been requested previously; makes sense to put them at <br />East Amazon and Potter to slow down traffic and make it safer. <br />• It was a mistake to ban smoking downtown. <br />• People need a place to sleep; consider looking at the field off of 7th Avenue, near <br />Washington -Jefferson Park. <br />• A much more robust public shelter is needed, but reject the notion that enforcing the <br />camping ban is criminalizing homelessness. <br />2.
