County grapples with traffic study and internal connectivity for two large subdivisions
Engineering firms presented traffic‑study recommendations for Barber Point and Nehemiah’s Court; commissioners pressed developers on access points, internal connectivity across an electric easement and whether required turn lanes, signals and sidewalks should be constructed up front before certificates of occupancy are issued.
The full story
Engineers for two proposed subdivisions presented a traffic study and a package of recommended roadway improvements to the Baker County Commission and to city representatives. The study recommended northbound left‑turn lanes at key subdivision entrances, pedestrian connections to primary entrances and, at full build‑out, a traffic signal at Louder Street and North Boulevard/Miltondale.
