When our parking proposal went before the City Planning Commission, three of our neighbors expressed their concern for the intersection of 6th street & Washington (Cornhusker & 84th). When cars are facing west and want to turn south, it can be difficult to see any oncoming traffic. They also expressed that drivers can be so concerned about traffic that they don't see pedestrians.
We agreed.
Because Washington Street in Papillion (84th Street) is a state highway, the City of Papillion can not do anything here except bring concerns to the state -- which they did very well. After some dialogue, they had the state agree to two changes.
First, you may have noticed that the timing on the timing on the west bound intersection has been changed on Sunday mornings so it stays green longer between Masses to help move traffic out.
Secondly, the state has agreed with the city that there should be a left turn only signal at this intersection. It had been added to a list of projects for the state. We may not see the signal for 8-10 months, but it will be coming.
Thank you City of Papillion & Neighbors!
