Warsaw City Council will review a request at its meeting tonight for a four-way stop at the intersection of CRs 175E and 75N.
The intersection is east of Patterson Road.Warsaw Traffic Safety Commission approved, at its Feb. 14 meeting, submitting the request to the city council for approval.
Warsaw Police Dept. Lt. Kip Shuter said there currently are sight-distance issues and road alignment problems at the intersection.
The traffic commission first discussed the request for the four-way stop, submitted by the Kosciusko County Highway Department, at its Oct. 4 meeting.
The commission approved for Michiana Area Council of Governments to conduct a traffic count for the intersection to determine traffic volume. The Michiana Council conducts traffic counts for cities and towns in Indiana. The organization conducted the traffic counts at the intersection Oct. 29 through Nov. 4 from noon to 11 p.m. each day.
Shuter said the study found a four-way stop is warranted at the intersection due to heavy traffic volume.
City Council will meet at 7 p.m. at city hall to discuss the proposed ordinance.
