Council approves four stop signs for Silver Ridge subdivision after resident requests
Summary
Following repeated resident complaints about speed and pedestrian safety, the council approved installation of four stop signs in the Silver Ridge subdivision; the move drew discussion about enforcement and likely follow-up calls from residents.
The Tuttle City Council voted 4-1 to add four stop signs to the Silver Ridge subdivision, citing recurring resident complaints about speed and safety for pedestrians and children.
City staff said the city had received multiple requests (staff cited three distinct resident requests) and concluded that, had the neighborhood been built under current standards, the signs would have been required. The signs will be installed from existing inventory; staff estimated materials costs of about $500 and labor of $150.
Council discussion noted that some residents will complain when new signs are placed and that compliance can be uneven unless enforced. Mayor McLeroy voted no; the motion carried with the four other council members in favor. Staff said crews would install the signs soon and expected increased resident calls as drivers adjust to the change.
