Committee to seek board public hearings on stop-sign changes at local intersections
Summary
The Highway Safety Committee recommended advancing changes to intersection signs — converting a yield to a stop at Christie/Roby and adding a stop at Laurel Lane — and agreed to bring the proposals to the board for required public hearings.
Committee staff and members discussed proposed changes to intersection signage at Christie/Roby and at Laurel Lane during the June 30 meeting, and agreed to refer both items to the board for formal public hearings.
Staff member (S3) described the Christie/Roby location and said the existing yield sign was not adequately protecting drivers entering the main flow: "It should be a stop sign," Staff member (S3) said. Members agreed the change would require a public hearing before implementation and that the matter should be brought to the board if the committee supports it.
The committee also identified Laurel Lane, a true T-intersection onto McCurdy, as lacking a stop sign and supported placing a stop sign there. Staff indicated no objection and recommended advancing both items through the normal board/public-hearing process.
Next steps: The committee will place the sign-change proposals on the board agenda and pursue the public hearings required by policy before any signs are installed or changed.
