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."
