Council formalizes stop signs at State/Waverly and adds stop for southbound Eisenhower Drive
Summary
Council voted to add stop‑street signage at State Street and Waverly Avenue and to establish a stop for southbound traffic on Eisenhower Drive; an alderman noted state law already requires stopping at the T‑intersection and the measure formalizes signage.
The city approved two traffic‑control resolutions to clarify and formalize stop signage at local intersections. The measure to add a stop street on State Street at Waverly Avenue passed after council discussion; an alderman noted that state law already requires stopping at T‑intersections and the resolution places signage to match the law.
A separate resolution to establish a stop for southbound traffic on Eisenhower Drive was moved and carried on roll call. The clerk recorded ayes for each council member present and announced that the motions carried.
Alma Rae (introduced on the record earlier in the meeting) emphasized the point about state law and signage, saying, “But according to state law, at a t intersection, we are supposed to stop, so we're just putting the signage that reflects it.” The measures will be implemented through the city’s public works department as crews schedule sign installation.
