Richland council installs stop signs on S. Richland Street at two intersections
Summary
The Richland City Council voted unanimously March 9 to replace yield signs with stop signs at the intersections of S. Richland Street with W. Stroup Street and W. South Street, adopting two resolutions to make the changes official.
The Richland City Council voted March 9 to replace yield signs with stop signs at two S. Richland Street intersections following reports that the yield signs were ineffective.
Council member Cyndia Crafton moved to change the yield signs to stop signs at S. Richland Street and W. Stroup Street and at S. Richland Street and W. South Street; Council member Jim Gaines seconded. The motions passed on roll call votes of 5–0.
The council then approved two resolutions to formalize the changes. Resolution 03-09-26 (1) establishes a stop sign on S. Richland Street at W. Stroup Street, and Resolution 03-09-26 (2) establishes a stop sign on S. Richland Street at W. South Street. Both resolutions were moved by Council member Cyndia Crafton, seconded by Council member Jim Gaines, and adopted by 5 ayes.
The decisions follow council discussion that the existing yield signs were not yielding the intended traffic slowdown. The council did not record additional study requirements or an implementation timetable in the minutes; Public Works staff earlier reported equipment deliveries but no specific installation schedule for new signage was recorded.
The council adjourned at 7:59 p.m.; the minutes do not list a date when the new signs will be installed.
