Council approves ordinance adding yield intersection at Red Fox Road and Christie/Bridal Lane
Summary
Council waived additional readings and unanimously approved an ordinance amending the city code to add a yield intersection on Red Fox Road at Christie Lane and Bridal Lane; council members described it as a safety measure and said residents supported the change.
The Bettendorf City Council waived second and third readings and approved a first-and-final ordinance to add a yield intersection on Red Fox Road at Christie Lane and Bridal Lane.
Staff had requested waiving the additional readings so the ordinance could be adopted that night. Council member Palczynski moved the ordinance (referencing Bettendorf City Code language in the transcript) and members said the change addresses a safety concern and that residents in the area have worked with staff and favor the modification. The clerk recorded a unanimous roll-call vote in favor of adoption.
Council comments emphasized safety and resident support; the transcript records Palczynski saying the residents were "excited to get this, this yield sign put in." The council instructed staff to implement the signage work now that the ordinance is enacted.
