After brief hearing, council approves first readings to make two intersections four-way stops
Summary
Following a public hearing, the Underwood City Council approved first readings to convert the intersections at 4th Street & 2nd Avenue and 4th Street & 3rd Avenue into four-way stops; the council approved both first readings unanimously.
The Underwood City Council opened a public hearing at 6:17 p.m. on Nov. 12 to consider converting two intersections—4th Street & 3rd Avenue and 4th Street & 2nd Avenue—into four-way stops.
Council discussed adding stop signs at the north and south approaches for both intersections. The public hearing was closed at 6:22 p.m., and the council then approved the first readings to designate both intersections as four-way stop intersections; each motion passed 5-0.
The minutes record the first-reading approvals but do not include engineering exhibits or a specific implementation schedule in the public minutes. Council framed the proposal as a traffic-safety measure following review; the Pottawattamie County Engineer's review and approval of final design width was referenced elsewhere in the meeting for a different street-design item.
If the first readings follow the city's ordinance process, additional readings or publication requirements may be required before the change is final; the minutes do not state the next procedural step for codifying the changes.
