Atknis and Davis
The traffic commission reviewed a request for a stop sign to be errected at the intersection of Davis and Atkins Drives.
As conducting a traffic study the commission has determined that the intersection did not me any of the conditions of traffic volume, accident history, nor sight distance. Therefore it was concluded that the intersection did not qualify for a stop sign.
However, in an attempt to improve conditions at the location, we are working with the adjoining property owners to have some bushes cut back to improve sight distance. Additionally, the police will increase patrols in the area to discourage speeding.
