The Newberg City Council meeting on February 18, 2024, focused on traffic safety improvements, particularly regarding the intersection at College Street. Council members discussed the need for better traffic management and expressed a desire for community feedback on proposed changes.

One significant point raised was the suggestion to install a traffic light at the intersection to enhance safety for drivers and pedestrians. A council member emphasized the importance of taking action, stating, "save your money and put a traffic light there," indicating a preference for immediate solutions over prolonged discussions.

The council is seeking a consensus on the direction of these traffic safety initiatives, aiming to ensure that the community feels involved in the decision-making process. The discussions reflect a broader commitment to improving local infrastructure and addressing public safety concerns.

As the council moves forward, they will continue to evaluate options and gather input from residents to finalize their plans for the intersection and other traffic-related issues in Newberg.
