Committee votes to convert yield control to stop signs at Clark Street intersection
Summary
After engineering staff found inadequate sight lines at the Clark Street/118th intersection, the committee voted to remove yield signs on 118th and install stop signs on Clark Street; members described the intersection as hard to see and supported the change unanimously.
Engineering staff recommended replacing yield control on 118th Street with stop signs on Clark Street after a sight‑line review; the committee approved the change unanimously.
Staff explained that drivers approaching from the south on 118th cannot see far enough to the east to safely proceed on yield control, and that installing stop signs on Clark Street provides clearer control for the lower‑volume street. "When you approach from the south, you cannot see to the proper distance off to the east," the staff member said.
Committee members who travel the intersection supported the change. "I go through that intersection all the time, and I think it makes sense because it's a tough one," one committee member said. The motion was moved and seconded and passed with all members voting aye.
