Church request for stop sign at Behring and 167th referred to engineering

A request from Ham and Christian Reformed Church for a stop sign at Behring and 167th Street was referred to the city’s engineering department for review and recommendation at the March 27 Board of Public Works and Safety meeting.

Board members discussed a prior removal of stop-control signs near the Sportsplex to reduce confusion with a private driveway and noted that the church reported difficulty entering and exiting as a result of the removal. "The church has complained, believes that removal of the stop sign makes it difficult for them to to come and go from the church," a board representative said.

The board voted to refer the matter to engineering so staff can evaluate traffic control needs at the intersection and return with a recommendation. No timeline was given for engineering’s review in the meeting.
