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.
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.

From neighbor:
Be on the lookout for bike thieves. I just had 2 bikes in my back yard stolen in the last 3 days on the 600 block of Pine. A green Gary Fisher “Mountain Bike” and a Black Schwinn Ocean Breeze ” old school bike”!with basket.
Neighbors on the 400 block of S. Pine between Albemarle & Spring Street AND the 700 block of Albemarle between S. Pine & S. Laurel Street should see no parking signs for both sides of the streets listed above for tomorrow Tuesday, June 4 from 9am-3pm for funeral services at Pine Street Baptist Church.
Daffodils up.
Thanks to a neighbor’s persistence, the City is planning to clean the west side of S. Pine Street this coming Monday after missing in their regular schedule.
Neighbors should make sure to remove their cars from the west side of S. Pine Street (even street numbers) before MONDAY at 8:00am so the street can be cleaned!
