Marks said that he spent time this past weekend walking Baker Lane and visiting residents to gain support.
"Our traffic engineers have concluded that Baker Lane has the traffic volume and speed to warrant changes along this route," he said. "The improvements can advance once a majority of residents along Baker Lane have signed a petition in support of the changes."
