Within the next month or so, a four-way stop will be installed at Thatcher Drive and Ninth Avenue Northeast.
At Monday’s council meeting, the majority of council
approved Coun. Brian Swanson made a motion to put a four-way stop at
the intersection as soon as possible and to conduct the appropriate
public awareness campaign.
“I too use that intersection regularly and I’ve
become concerned with the safety of it,” said Swanson. “Right now if
you’re going up Ninth Avenue and trying to turn left onto Thatcher, as
many vehicles do from the gas bar that’s there, it’s a dangerous
situation, particularly with winter approaching.”
