Chair asks DOT to study turn arrow at Main Street and 1st Avenue after traffic concerns
Summary
Council Member Klose asked that a turn arrow be considered for westbound Main Street at 1st Avenue; Chief Jarred Anglin contacted the state DOT to request a traffic study and the committee noted any signal change would be a state decision.
Council Member Klose raised concerns about westbound traffic on Main Street at the intersection with 1st Avenue and asked whether a dedicated southbound turn hour/arrow could be considered. Chair Jodi Mackay and Chief Jarred Anglin discussed potential impacts to nearby intersections if signal timing were changed.
Chief Anglin said he had emailed his DOT contact to initiate a traffic study; he told the committee that the state DOT makes final signal‑timing decisions and that a longer green for one direction could create backup at the nearby 4‑way stop at 1st Avenue and 1st Street.
The committee did not direct staff to make changes; it asked staff to follow up on the traffic study request and report back.
