The Main Street/North Plaza intersection has a documented crash history, and the city is adding stop signs for eastbound and westbound traffic with flashing lights and warning signage. Councilmembers also raised the lack of an east-side crosswalk and dim lighting — fixes that could cost around $65,000 and may come back in a future budget.
City Council (Regular) - Jun 2, 2026
A downtown business owner warned that speeding traffic near the theater plaza is dangerous and asked for a lighted crosswalk or stop sign between Texaco and Inferno's. The Council agreed to send the request to its traffic safety committee, and noted a temporary stop sign during Main Street repaving worked well.
