Resident asks council for stop signs at Kansas and Maricopa intersection
Summary
A Florence resident asked the council to install additional stop signs near Kansas and Maricopa roads, citing repeated near-misses involving elderly drivers.
During the meeting's first call to the public, resident Glorious McClung told the council she lives in Florence Gardens near the corner of Kansas and Maricopa and urged the town to add stop signs to slow traffic. McClung said vehicles come "so fast" and described several close calls involving elderly drivers backing out of driveways.
Mayor Eaton asked the town manager to follow up with staff to review the request. McClung said she is a careful driver but that, in her view, additional stop signs would make the area safer for older residents.
Council did not take immediate action but asked staff to review the location and follow up with the resident.
