Resident urges removal of traffic signal at College and East 3rd
Summary
Resident E. C. McLaughlin urged the council during public comment to remove the traffic signal at College and East 3rd, calling it unnecessary and suggesting stop signs or speed-limit changes given minimal traffic.
E. C. McLaughlin, a Burkburnett resident of 52 years, urged the council during the public-comment period to remove the traffic signal at College and East 3rd and replace it with stop signs or adjust speed limits. "There's no reason for that intersection to be lit up," McLaughlin said, arguing that the signal often stops only a single car and creates unnecessary delay.
McLaughlin also questioned the speed limits on nearby streets and suggested reallocating traffic-control devices where they would better serve traffic flow. The comment was taken during public comment; no council action or immediate staff assignment was recorded in the transcript.
