Council opts to leave damaged intersection as four-way stop


GRANDVIEW - Monday night, Grandview City Council voted to leave the damaged intersection at Grandridge Road and West Second Street as a four-way stop, for now.


The intersection was damaged two weeks ago when a semi-truck hit one of the overhead wires and a fire hydrant, bringing down several service poles and the stop lights they supported.


Council opted to leave the intersection as a four-way stop while the city pursues emergency funding through the Transportation Improvement Board. The funding would make it possible for the city to upgrade the intersection to include a steel pole signal system with mast arms, pedestrian signals and a new turn radius that would make it easier for semi-trucks to make it through the intersection. The estimated cost of the upgrade is $262,000.
