Resident urges council to restore traffic signal at North Fifth and State Street after multiple accidents
Summary
At the Sept. 23 meeting, resident Mona Dye urged Lexington leaders to replace a removed traffic light at North Fifth and State Street, citing multiple accidents near her West Fifth Street home.
During the public-comment period at the Sept. 23 Lexington City Council meeting, resident Mona Dye (274 West Fifth Street) asked the council to consider restoring a traffic signal between North Fifth and State Street. Dye said the intersection has seen several accidents since the light was removed and expressed concern for neighborhood safety.
Mayor Jason Hayes thanked Dye for raising the concern. The City Manager later said he would follow up with the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) about State Street, while noting some engineering study and analysis is required before NCDOT can make changes to a state-owned road.
No formal action was taken at the meeting; the city manager committed to contacting NCDOT and providing follow-up information to council and residents.
