Council approves stop signs at West Washington and 4th Street SW
Summary
The Paris City Council voted unanimously to amend the city's traffic control map to add stop signs on West Washington Street at its intersection with 4th Street Southwest.
The Paris City Council voted 7-0 to adopt an ordinance amending the city's traffic control map to add stop signs on West Washington Street at its intersection with 4th Street Southwest.
City traffic staff told the council the item originated at the December Traffic Commission after residents reported vehicles exceeding the posted speed on West Washington. Staff said they conducted a speed and traffic study in October, asked the city engineer to perform a site survey, and the traffic commission unanimously recommended the sign placement.
Council offered no further discussion before moving, seconding and approving the ordinance.
The ordinance amends the traffic control map adopted in Section 11.02.005 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Paris, Texas to require stop signs controlling east- and westbound traffic on West Washington at the 4th Street SW intersection. The council did not provide an ordinance number in the meeting record.
The change is intended to address resident concerns about vehicle speeds along West Washington; staff said the recommendation followed the engineer's site visit and the traffic commission vote.
No public comments or separate conditions were recorded during the council's deliberation. The ordinance passed on a 7-0 roll-call vote.
