Council considers 3-way stop, speed feedback signs on Howard Drive to curb speeding near field
Summary
Police and council members discussed traffic-safety measures to slow speeding near the football field, including a trial 3-way stop at the Charles Place intersection, a crosswalk, temporary signage, and radar‑capable speed display units to collect data.
Councilman Benaghi raised a proposal from the police chief and staff to install a three‑way stop at the intersection of Howard Drive and Charles Place to slow traffic near the football field and a proposed crosswalk.
Benaghi told the council, "a 3 way stop sign on Howard Drive, where Howard Drive meets Charles Place," and suggested a temporary cone-and-sign trial for a year and consideration of lighted or radar-capable speed feedback signs. Council members discussed using the data collection capability of those devices to establish evidence for enforcement; staff said the devices can collect past 60-day speed data to evaluate whether a permanent change is warranted.
The council agreed to consider the proposal and discuss it further at the next meeting and to solicit resident feedback from the affected street.
