County to add stop sign at 137th and remove local weight limit after US Cold Storage work
Summary
Traffic staff recommended a stop sign at 137th at the county line after a traffic study; they also said US Cold Storage completed required road rebuilding, so a local weight limit there is no longer necessary. Officials said advance warning signs will be used.
County traffic staff told the board that a traffic study shows a need for a stop sign at 137th at the county line for safety reasons and that construction required of US Cold Storage was complete, removing the need for a local weight limit at that location.
"Our traffic studies have shown that there's a need for a stop sign at 137th," said Speaker 12, asking the board to place the sign "for safety purposes." Speaker 12 added that the company completed reconstruction required by its permit and therefore "there is no longer a need for the weight limit in that area." Residents and at least one commissioner noted the site is a dangerous hill and requested advance warning signage; Speaker 12 and Speaker 4 agreed an advance warning sign will be installed.
The transcript captures the request and staff recommendations; no formal ordinance or vote on the traffic changes appears in the provided excerpt.
