Council tables ordinance to convert Carlisle & Avenue L to a four‑way stop after resident concerns
Summary
Council read an ordinance to convert a two‑way stop to a four‑way stop at Carlisle and Avenue L and heard residents seek crash data and neighborhood feedback. Council agreed to ask staff to survey neighbors and tabled the ordinance to the Sept. 2 meeting (motion passed 6–1).
City staff read Ordinance 2025‑24 proposing to replace an existing two‑way stop with a four‑way stop at Carlisle and Avenue L and set a fine range of $1–$200 for violations. Resident Susan Ooten, who lives in the nearby block, asked whether there was resident support or accident data to justify the change: "I just have a few questions, is there any resident support for this?" she asked.
Council members noted that stop signs are inexpensive and often adopted in the interest of safety but also agreed that resident input and crash data are useful. One councilor suggested surveying neighbors and tabling the item; another moved to table the ordinance until the Sept. 2 regular meeting so staff or councilors could solicit neighborhood feedback. The motion to table passed 6–1.
