BY ADAM ATKINSONNorth Country This WeekPOTSDAM — Drivers traveling along Waverly or Grove streets will notice a new four-way stop at the intersection of the two roads.
Village DPW workers installed the new signs earlier this week. The intersection at Grove and Leroy streets were also changed to a full four-way stop.
Following requests from village residents regarding the speed of traffic on Waverly and Grove streets, the village has changed the intersection of the two routes to a four-way stop.
Several letters to the editor of North Country This Week have complained of traffic speed on the roads over the years, and the village board has heard comments from the public on the issue at their meetings.
The village board approved the change at their meeting Dec. 4.
The change required an amendment to village code, specifically Chapter 168, Vehicles and Traffic, Article X, Schedules, Section 168-66, Schedule VIII: Stop Intersections of the Village of Potsdam Municipal Code.
A public hearing on the code change was held last November.
Installation of new signs alerting drivers of the stop, however, was delayed by winter weather and by delivery from the manufacturer.
