Waukee council advances first reading to add all-way stop at school entrance
Summary
Council approved a first reading to install an all-way (four-way) stop at Northwest Douglas Parkway and Northwest Stratford Drive near Trail Ridge School and North Middle School; installation is scheduled for mid-April and staff said the district has been informed.
Waukee ' The Waukee City Council approved the first reading of an ordinance to amend Chapter 65 to implement an all-way stop at the intersection of Northwest Douglas Parkway and Northwest Stratford Drive, an entrance that serves Trail Ridge School and North Middle School.
Rudy, a city staff member presenting the item, said the change follows a workshop discussion and is intended to improve safety at the school entrance. "This is to implement an all hallway stop condition at Northwest Douglas Parkway and Northwest Stratford Drive, which is also entrance to Trail Ridge School and North Middle School," Rudy said. He told the council the schedule shows installation in mid-April and that staff had shared the plan with the school district; he said he had not heard concerns from district staff.
Council members voted to approve the ordinance's introduction and first reading; staff said installation and signage work would follow the council process and the project schedule.
The item will return for further readings as required by city code before the installation proceeds.
