Council tables ordinance to make Carlisle/Avenue L intersection a 4‑way stop for additional neighborhood outreach
Summary
An ordinance to change a 2‑way stop to a 4‑way stop at Carlisle and Avenue L drew questions from residents and council; after discussion council voted 6–1 to table the item to the Sept. 2 regular meeting so staff and councilmembers can survey affected residents.
Rosenberg City Council tabled an ordinance that would replace existing stop-signal controls and convert the intersection of Carlisle and Avenue L to a four-way stop, directing staff and council to gather resident input before the item returns to the regular meeting agenda.
The proposed ordinance (No. 2025‑24) would amend the city code to re-designate stop-sign controls at the intersection. Susan Newton and Councilmember George explained the request: councilmembers said the intersection is a school bus pickup/dropoff and that some councilmembers and residents support adding stop control for safety reasons.
Several residents asked whether neighbors supported the change, whether crash data prompted the proposal, and whether a traffic study had been completed. “I just have a few questions, is there any resident support for this? Do the people in this neighborhood support this?” resident Susan Newton asked during public comment. Councilmembers and staff discussed prior stop-sign policies and existing 4‑way stops nearby. One councilmember suggested polling nearby residents as is done for speed-hump or traffic-calming petitions.
Action: Councilmember (motion maker not specified in the record) moved to table the ordinance and seek neighborhood input; the motion carried 6–1. The matter was continued to the council’s Sept. 2 regular meeting so councilmembers can consult neighbors and staff can present any needed study or petition results.
Why it matters: the change affects neighborhood traffic controls near a bus stop and school area. Supporters emphasized safety and low cost of stop signs; some councilmembers and residents asked for documented resident support before permanent changes are made.
