Council approves stop signs on Wilson Street after resident petition
Summary
Following a resident petition citing speeding, the council authorized three stop signs on Wilson Street at an estimated cost of $2,500–$3,500 and agreed to assess whether a speed bump is later needed.
Residents petitioned the council for traffic-calming measures on Wilson Street, particularly near the Boy Scout location, after downtown paving created a straight-through route that residents said encourages speeding. Interim Town Manager Tony Sears presented a map showing three intersections proposed for conversion to three-way stops and estimated the cost for poles and signs at $2,500–$3,500.
Council Member Mark Smith moved to install the three stop signs and urged staff to monitor traffic impacts before considering a speed bump; Council Member Keith Davis seconded. The motion passed unanimously (4–0).
