Fayette County

commissioners Thursday will hear from a Tyrone resident concerning that

controversial four-way stop request for the intersection of Jenkins and

Ellison roads.

Trina Berry

will address the commission during its regular business meeting, 7 p.m.

at the County Administrative Complex, 140 Stonewall Ave., Fayetteville.

Recent refusal

brought a sharp rebuke from Tyrone Town Councilman Ronnie Cannon during

a recent council meeting. "You'd think I was trying to pull teeth.

They just don't want to work with us. It's that type of arrogance that

burns my tail," said Cannon, who added the town would gladly pay

the cost of erecting the signs if money is a factor in the decision.

But it's not,

said County Commission Chairman Greg Dunn. Traffic studies done in 1998

indicate a four-way stop at the intersection is a bad idea and won't make

the intersection any safer, he said.

Tyrone's Cannon

says the intersection needs the four-way because of all the traffic generated

been one recent traffic accident there, and that was a rear-end collision

some distance back from the intersection.

"It's

just based on common sense," Cannon said during the council meeting.

"They need to get their head out of a book."
