The Janesville City Council takes the advice of City staff and not the Transportation Committee in voting down an ordinance which would have ordered a stop sign placed on South Fremont Street at Eastwood Avenue.
A group of residents submitted a petition to the City asking for the traffic control device.
While the Transportation Committee sided with the neighbors and voted for a stop sign despite the fact that the intersection gets half the number of cars required to warrant one, the City Council Monday night failed to pass a motion to approve the stop sign in a four to three vote. Those voting in favor of the stop sign were Jens Jorgensen, Paul Williams, and Jim Farrell.
