Plain City council moves to designate Lantern Lane and Doe Street a three-way stop; staff to finalize resolution
Summary
Council discussed speeding and a school bus stop on Lantern Lane, the police chief supported installing a three-way stop and staff circulated a draft resolution; council scheduled further action and read a first-reading resolution authorizing installation of traffic control devices.
Council members heard resident complaints about speeding on Lantern Lane and drivers failing to stop at the school bus crosswalk. Mayor Carney asked staff and the police for recommendations; Chief McKee said a three-way stop "might help slow that traffic down" and added, "I don't see any safety issues with it."
Council discussed logistics including painting crosswalks, whether two or three signs would be needed, potential noise from stop-and-start traffic and costs for signs and markings. Village staff said a draft resolution was already prepared and could be read as a first reading or placed on the next council agenda; the transcript records staff saying, "Justin's already drafted a potential resolution." Council later read by title Resolution 16-20-26 as a first reading, declaring the intersection of Lantern Lane and Doe Street a three-way stop and authorizing traffic-control device installation.
