Thomasville approves 4-way stop at Montlieu Avenue and Taylor Street to improve safety near recreation center
Summary
Council amended city ordinance to add a 4-way stop at Montlieu Avenue and Taylor Street, citing increased vehicle speeds after repaving and pedestrian traffic to the Central Recreation facility; the change passed unanimously.
The Thomasville City Council voted unanimously on April 21, 2025, to amend Article XIII, Sec. 78-468 of the city code to add a 4-way stop at the intersection of Montlieu Avenue and Taylor Street.
City Manager Brandt explained the change was prompted by growth in use and extended hours at the Central Recreation facility and by higher vehicle speeds after the recent repaving of Taylor Street. Message boards had been placed to notify the public of the traffic-control change. Council Member Doug Hunt moved to approve the ordinance amendment; Council Member Neal Grimes seconded and the motion passed 6-0.
The minutes do not specify an implementation date beyond the message boards already in place; the city indicated the traffic control change is intended to enhance pedestrian safety between the recreation parking lot and facilities.
