Council member Greg Freebould asked the council to consider removing certain stop signs identified in a recent traffic study. After discussion, councilmember Christine (last name not specified) moved to place the stop sign at the Pine Tree and Venetian intersection on the next agenda as a discussion item; the motion passed.
Town Attorney and staff advised that stop‑sign removals require an engineering evaluation and a professional recommendation; the council discussed phased approaches used in other communities (for example, temporarily converting intersections to four‑way stops while drivers adjust). The council agreed staff should invite the traffic consultant, Brian Kelly, to the meeting and focus discussion on the Venetian–Pine Tree intersection, with the option to expand review later.
Discussion: council members and staff emphasized following the traffic engineer’s recommendations and giving residents notice. Decision: place Pine Tree at Venetian stop-sign removal as a discussion item on the next agenda and invite the traffic engineer to attend.
