(KAIR)--Public input is wanted regarding the temporary placement of stop signs at four intersections in downtown Atchison.
The temporary signage has been in place since early in the new year at the intersections of 3rd and Commercial Streets, near the Atchison Family YMCA, 4th and Kansas Avenue, by the Atchison Public Library, 5th and Santa Fe, and 6th and Santa Fe, on the south side of the Atchison Middle School.
The stop signs were put in place in an effort to study if they create safer traffic flow in those locations.
The matter of the ongoing study was addressed by Atchison Mayor Allen Reavis during Monday's special meeting of the Commission.
Reavis, who said he's heard mixed reviews regarding the signs, inquired as to the best method for members of the public to send comments regarding the stop signs, and was told to contact Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson or Director of Public Works Justin Pregont. "Everybody in those coffee clubs that's out there listening right now, really, send us some emails, send some comments in,” Reavis said. “I can try to quote what you say but, I've heard both ways. There's some that they feel are good, but there's some they don't feel are."
The signs are allowed to remain in place temporarily for up to 90 days for review. After that period ends, the Commission must decide whether or not to pass an ordinance to make the stop signs a permanent addition at the intersections.
