Residents ask Ruston to install four-way stops at 52nd/53rd and N Shirley Streets
Summary
Two Commencement condo residents presented a memo asking the city to install temporary four-way stop signs at two intersections, citing limited visibility and saying more than 40 condo residents support the request; Mayor Hopkins forwarded it to the City Engineer for review.
During public comment at the July 1 meeting, Priscilla La Belle and Harvey Rosen presented a written request asking the City of Ruston to install four-way stops at the corners of 52nd & 53rd and at N Shirley Streets. The memo argues the primary issue is limited visibility at the intersections and that daytime population increases have raised collision risk; it notes "over 40 people" in the Commencement condo community support the change and asks for temporary signage during a street project.
Mayor Bruce Hopkins told the council the request is an administrative matter rather than a legislative one and that it has been "forwarded to the City Engineer for review and direction." Councilmembers expressed support for looking into the request; Councilmember Jenn Jensen asked whether the stop installation could be incorporated into an active street project. No funding decision or installation timeline was announced at the meeting.
