signal at this intersection and under the agreement, will generally have the following
responsibilities:
1. The MDD will:

Spring Park;

of the roadway; and

b. erect a new sign along with landscaping;

authorization to execute the agreement is because the plan for the new road is projected
for spring break. During this time the entrance to Springfield has to be closed for one
week. He also stated that a plan is currently being fast tracked for Victoria Walker
Elementary School buses that use this entrance, so service is not interrupted.
