The Atlantic City Council held a public hearing Wednesday evening, with regard to the removal of a stop sign at 6th and Sunnyside Lane. Mayor Dave Jones explained why the sign is being removed. He said the north/south stop signs will be removed and signs indicating north/south traffic will not stop at the intersection will be installed. The reason is that trucks and traffic coming from the ethanol plant will frequent the road, and having stop signs on the north/south sides would likely result in a traffic congestion there.)

The change was recommended by the Community Protection Committee during their meeting Jan. 16th. The Mayor admits they currently have no idea how much the traffic flow will increase, but it’s expected to be significant. Following the public hearing, the Council held the first reading of an amended ordinance calling for removal of the north south stop signs.

Two more readings are required before the change takes effect.
