During the Hollister City Council meeting on December 3, 2024, a significant safety concern was raised regarding the intersection at San Antonio Street. A resident highlighted ongoing issues with large trucks navigating the area, which is not designated as a truck route. The resident reported that semi-trucks frequently turn onto oncoming traffic, posing risks to both vehicles and pedestrians.
The resident urged the council to consider implementing a three-way stop at the intersection instead of the current stop sign. This change aims to enhance safety for drivers and pedestrians alike. The council acknowledged the concerns and will explore potential solutions to improve traffic management in this busy area.
This discussion underscores the city's commitment to addressing community safety issues and ensuring that local infrastructure meets the needs of its residents. Further evaluations and potential actions will be taken to address the concerns raised, reflecting the council's proactive approach to public safety.
