Council asks staff to draft stop‑sign amendment at Twelfth and Grant
Summary
Councilmembers agreed to ask staff to prepare an amendment to the traffic code to consider placing a stop sign at Twelfth and Grant, citing limited visibility near the high school and parked cars during events. Staff will return with a proposed amendment at a future meeting.
Holdridge City Council opened discussion on placing a stop sign at the intersection of Twelfth and Grant and directed staff to prepare a proposed traffic‑code amendment for consideration at a future meeting.
A councilmember said the intersection lacks a stop sign and that visibility is poor because cars park near the adjacent high school. “There is no stop sign, and there probably should be,” one councilmember said during the discussion.
Why it matters: councilmembers said the intersection’s limited sight lines when events are held at the nearby high school make it a candidate for a regulatory change that could reduce conflicts and improve safety for pedestrians and drivers.
What council decided Council asked staff to draft an amendment to the traffic code and return with a recommendation at the next meeting. A councilmember suggested it was a straightforward safety improvement, and a deputy referenced prior input from the police department. There was no final ordinance adoption; the board agreed to continue the item and have staff present a formal amendment.
Context and next steps Councilmembers mentioned other intersections of local concern and told staff to review those locations as well. The item was left in staff hands for drafting and an administrative recommendation; no vote to adopt a traffic control device was taken at this meeting.
