Four-way stop debate at Main Street and Green Valley Parkway
Summary
Council members Jim Ferris and Charlie Bell pushed for a four-way stop near the park and school, but the data doesn't back it: zero crashes in 2.5 years and traffic ratios of 5-to-1. The council may pursue a lit crosswalk near the Parks and Rec building instead.

Impact analysis
A four-way stop would cost little, but engineers warn it would add delay for the ~300 east-west vehicles at peak — and an unwarranted stop creates liability risk.
Pedestrians and school families if safety improvements are added at the right location.
East-west commuters and fire/EMS response times if an unwarranted stop were installed.
