River Ridge board declines additional spending on stop-sign upgrades

Apr 28, 2026

Following an AV-Tech test that failed to control sign brightness, the board opted not to buy timer-equipped stop signs and will leave existing signage in place; staff reported $9,280 had been spent to date for four signs ($2,320 each).

The full story

Operations Manager Shane Willis told the board AV-Tech could not successfully control the brightness of stop-sign lights during an experiment, leaving two primary options: maintain the existing signs and manage lighting or purchase signs with timers. Willis reported the overall cost for four stop signs to date was $9,280, or $2,320 per sign, as shown in the unaudited financial statements.
