Traffic committee hears recommendation to make Hampshire–Polar a three-way stop
Summary
Staff recommended installing two additional stop signs to make the Hampshire Avenue and Polar Lane intersection a three-way stop; committee members agreed to evaluate the site and no formal vote is recorded in the transcript.
The Traffic Committee discussed a proposal to authorize a stop sign at the intersection of Hampshire Avenue and Polar Lane and heard a recommendation to make the intersection a three-way stop.
A staff member recommended adding two stop signs so that Polar Lane and both directions of Hampshire Avenue would be controlled, converting the intersection to a three-way stop. “My recommendation is to make it 3 way stop sign. 3 way stop sign intersection,” the staff presenter said.
Committee members generally expressed support for the idea and suggested a site visit to confirm signage placement and traffic conditions. One member also noted other intersections where speeding and cut-through traffic occur and asked that staff evaluate those locations, including an intersection at House and Williams Street and East Avenue.
The transcript records the recommendation and that members supported further review and a potential site visit, but it does not record a formal vote to adopt the stop signs during the provided audio.
