Jason Strandberg has been working on the issue and considered speed bumps or a flashing light around the sign. The four way red light hanging directly above the intersection would be another option to prevent accidents. This has been a high accident area within the City where approximately 33 accidents have occurred within the last five years. Jason Strandberg explained that he has been working on some plans for this intersection. Tomorrow public works is going to get a blinking yellow light to warn of the stop ahead.
