The intersection of East New Hope Drive and Mayfield Ranch Boulevard could become a four-way stop, pending final action from local officials.

Why now?

As the northwestern portion of the city grows, the intersection’s observed traffic volume is approaching the threshold for an all-way stop, Assistant Transportation Director Brian Kuhn said in a July 21 packet briefing.

If approved, stop signs would be added to the east- and westbound East New Hope Drive lanes. The intersection currently operates as a two-way stop for north- and southbound traffic on Mayfield Ranch Boulevard.

What’s next?

City Council approved the first reading of the ordinance July 23 and will take another vote to finalize the measure in the future.
