Council approves stop signs at 10th Street and Avenue F after police report of collisions
Summary
The council approved replacing yield signs with stop signs at 10th Street and Avenue F after Police Chief Doug Salmen reported two recent accidents and increased parking volume near nearby offices and church.
The Wisner City Council voted April 20 to replace yield signs with stop signs at the intersection of 10th Street and Avenue F following a recommendation from Police Chief Doug Salmen.
Chief Salmen told the council he has investigated two accidents at that intersection since his arrival in Wisner and noted increased parking related to a dentist office, a church and city staff activity. "Changing the yield signs to stop signs, the police department can enforce the stop sign," Salmen said during the meeting.
Councilman LJ Parker moved to approve the sign changes and Councilman Andrew Schweers seconded the motion. The roll call vote recorded Schweers, Meyer, Parker and Gobar in favor; there were no nays.
Councilman Barry Meyer suggested the city review other intersections to determine whether additional changes are warranted. The council did not attach a timeline or budget detail to the action during the meeting; implementation details were not specified in the minutes.
