City approves traffic upgrades including stop signs on Terminal Ave
The City Commission adopted several traffic board recommendations. Stop signs will be installed at Terminal Avenue intersections with Fleming and JC streets amid concerns from local businesses about heavy truck traffic from a concrete plant and recycling center. A crosswalk at 1800 E Spruce St was approved with the college to fund an ADA ramp. A crosswalk push button plan at 800 N Campus Dr was tabled for more college data. Curran noted the area’s heavy truck flow and sight line issues near the animal shelter.
