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 parked cars has also contributed to blind spots for both pedestrians and drivers, exacerbating the risk of accidents.

In response to these safety issues, the resolution calls on the city of Lincoln and the Nebraska State Capitol Environs Commission to install stop signs at the intersection for both northbound and southbound traffic. The resolution emphasizes the need for immediate action to enhance pedestrian safety and improve traffic flow in the area. 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 urge them to take the necessary steps to address these concerns.
