Council approves permanent four-way stop at Chestnut and Montgomery (Ordinance 23-15)
Summary
Henderson approved Ordinance 23-15 authorizing a permanent four-way stop at Chestnut and Montgomery streets after staff explained temporary signage and signal-light issues prevented repair; the ordinance passed unanimously.
The Henderson City Council approved Ordinance 23-15 on July 10, 2023, to add a permanent stop intersection at Chestnut Street and Montgomery Street.
City Manager E. Terrell Blackmon explained that the intersection had been operating with temporary signage while the signal light remained inoperable and unrepaired; staff recommended a permanent four-way stop as the next-best safety and aesthetic solution. Councilmember Melissa Elliott moved approval; Councilmember Sara M. Coffey seconded and the ordinance passed unanimously.
The ordinance will amend the City Code of Ordinances to establish the stop intersection. Staff did not attach a timeline for signage installation at the meeting; follow-up with the Public Works or Traffic division is expected.
