Village board approves stop sign at Highland and Fenimore
Summary
The village board voted to add a stop sign at Highland and Fenimore after the traffic commission recommended the change; a committee member cautioned the sign may not prevent all accidents but acknowledged sightline issues on the small street.
The village board of trustees approved a motion on Nov. 25 to install a stop sign at the intersection of Highland and Fenimore.
The most immediate action came after the traffic commission recommended adding a stop control at the intersection. A committee member described limited sightlines for drivers exiting the side street and said the narrowness of Highland made visibility difficult. "But the stop sign won't alleviate any particular traffic accidents that may occur," the committee member said.
Board members framed the measure as a low-cost, targeted response to residents' safety concerns. A trustee moved to add the stop sign and the chair seconded; the motion passed on a voice vote.
The board handled the item at its work session and approved proceeding with the installation; final scheduling and implementation details were not specified during the meeting.
