Board backs new stop and yield signs at several neighborhood intersections
Summary
The Board of Public Works directed staff to draft ordinances to place a stop sign at Eastgate and yield signs at intersections on Poppy Road to address increased traffic from a new connection.
The Village of Jackson Board of Public Works on March 25 directed staff to draft ordinance language installing a stop sign at Eastgate and additional yield signs at intersections on Poppy Road, responding to higher traffic volumes from new neighborhood connections.
Board members moved and seconded motions to change signage at multiple intersections after a Department of Public Works memo outlining options. Staff and the police department reviewed each location: the Eastgate crossing was recommended for a stop sign because it handles through traffic, while Poppy Road intersections at Primrose Court and Jasmine Court were recommended for yield signs because they are cul-de-sac connections and the village signage code calls for yields in that context.
Nut graf: The changes are intended to address increased traffic on recently connected streets; the board directed staff to prepare ordinance language for codification and Village Board approval.
Police staff explained the difference in treatment for the intersections: "These other ones are just cul de sacs, so a yield sign follows through with the Village Of Jackson signage code already," a police representative said. The board approved the direction to draft ordinances by voice vote.
Ending: Staff will draft the required ordinance language and return it to the Village Board for codification and final approval.
