Residents Finally Win Long Fight for Stop Sign
- Share via
Residents finally got a four-way stop sign placed on their busy street after battling City Hall for nearly seven years.
Although residents applauded the City Council’s decision Tuesday approving the installation of a sign at Camino La Ronda and Via Puntero, many believed the city should have responded earlier to their safety concerns.
Previously, residents’ requests were denied because S-shaped Camino La Ronda did not meet city requirements for either a stop sign or speed bumps.
But at the meeting, about a dozen residents urged officials to make the changes and beef up traffic enforcement to slow down speeding motorists, which residents say pose a serious problem.
Resident Robert Eppers, who told council members a speeding car once drove up onto the sidewalk to avoid hitting him, said he was pleased with the decision, but said it took too long.
