(KAIR)--A change is made at a heavily traveled Atchison traffic route.
A four way stop configuration has been put in place at the intersection of 2nd and Commercial Streets.
That follows a long-time effort by the City of Atchison to improve traffic flow at that location in the name of safety.
According to Assistant City Manager Justin Pregont, placement of the stops signs meant the removal of the controversial temporary curb median/extensions that had been in place at that location for nearly 2-years. He cites the degrading condition of the equipment, leading to an undesirable aesthetic, as one reason for the removal.
The matter was discussed during a workshop held by the City Commission on September 16.
According to Pregont, the stop signs are put in place on a 90 day trial period, under the direction of Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson.
Once the 90 day period concludes, the City Commission will have to decide whether or not the configuration will remain in place permanently.
