Melbourne council approves stop signs on 3rd Avenue over 1 dissent
Summary
The Melbourne City Council voted 3–1 on June 22 to add stop signs at three 3rd Avenue intersections after a brief discussion; Council member Beth Smith cast the lone dissenting vote.
The Melbourne City Council voted 3–1 on June 22 to add stop signs on 3rd Avenue at 1st Street, 2nd Street and 3rd Street. The motion was made by Council member Josh Fuller and seconded by Council member Beth Opperman; Fuller, Opperman and Council member Lucas Hauser voted in favor and Council member Beth Smith voted no.
The measure followed council discussion of neighborhood traffic control. Earlier in the meeting, Deputy Cecak reported complaints about vehicles racing on nearby 2nd Street and said the city would note extra patrols and consider placing the speed sign at that location.
Council took the action as a standalone traffic-control decision; no implementation timeline was specified during the discussion. The council then returned to other agenda business.
