NEW TRAFFIC PATTERN!!! Once again, we have new stop signs popping up around the neighborhood. While neighbors knew that new all-way stops had been approved by City Council, many were surprised by their sudden implementation.
Laurel and Albemarle intersection is now an all way stop, new Spring and Pine Street intersection is too. Please alert neighbors and other drivers.
A big branch came off a tree in front of 620 S. Laurel. Thankfully, it looks like only a fence was injured.
This photo was taken on the 600 block of S. Laurel Street.
Oregon Hill is once again looking at possibly changing traffic patters as a new proposal is being weighed at City Council’s Land Use, Housing, and Transportation Committee.
Ordinance 2019-147 reads:
To erect all-way stop signs at the intersections of Spring Street and South Pine Street, Spring Street and South Laurel Street, Albemarle Street and South Laurel Street, and Albemarle Street and South Cherry Street, with a painted stop line at each intersection.
This follows neighbors’ discussion with City Councilperson Parker Agelasto’s office in regard to continued concerns about traffic safety. To quickly recap, neighbors originally requested all-way stop signs at Spring and Laurel and Spring and Pine, but agreed to try changing more intersections’ stop sign direction, now that concerns have continued, all-stops are being reconsidered.

Perhaps instead of raising taxes and fees, the City should fine developers and other entities when they suddenly close streets without advanced warning.
Pita Pit signed a lease in recent weeks to take about 900 square feet in the 805W project – a four-story, 100-unit apartment development with about 8,000 square feet of ground floor space – that’s under construction at 805 W. Cary St.
