The resolution addresses safety concerns at the intersection of Fourteenth Street and Lincoln Mall in Lincoln, Nebraska, following the removal of a stop sign for northbound traffic and the change of Fourteenth Street from one-way to two-way. This alteration has created an unsafe pedestrian crossing, particularly for the thousands of students and visitors who frequently use the West entrance of the State Capitol. The presence of parking spots on Fourteenth Street has further contributed to visibility issues for both pedestrians and drivers, leading to a dangerous traffic pattern that has not been adequately addressed by the city of Lincoln or the Nebraska State Capitol Environs Commission.

In response to these safety concerns, the resolution calls for the installation of stop signs at the corners of Fourteenth Street and Lincoln Mall for both northbound and southbound traffic. It urges the city of Lincoln and the Nebraska State Capitol Environs Commission to collaborate on this matter to enhance pedestrian safety. Additionally, copies of the resolution will be sent to the Mayor and City Council of Lincoln, as well as the Nebraska State Capitol Environs Commission, to ensure that the issue is formally recognized and addressed.
