Council cleans up municipal code, removes obsolete and adds stop signs at Holmes/30th intersections
Summary
The council repealed old ordinances tied to a four‑way stop at South 30th Street and West Howard and yield signs at South 30th Street and West Holmes Avenue, and adopted a new ordinance adding stop signs at the West Holmes and South 30th Street intersection.
The Greenfield Common Council on May 6 adopted a set of housekeeping traffic ordinances: it repealed an older ordinance tied to a four‑way stop at South 30th Street and West Howard Avenue because a traffic signal now exists, repealed yield-sign language concerning South 30th Street at West Holmes Avenue, and adopted a new ordinance installing stop signs at West Holmes and South 30th Street.
Councilmembers described the actions as housekeeping to bring the municipal code into conformity with current street control devices. Members recounted local history about prior yield/stop sign placements; the Police Department and engineering staff had reviewed the items and did not recommend additional changes beyond those on the agenda.
Votes on the items were recorded on the floor; each motion carried by roll call. No changes to traffic-control policy beyond the listed intersections were proposed during the meeting.
The ordinances will be codified and the city will implement signage updates in the field as directed by engineering and traffic staff.
