The Lititz Borough Council meeting on August 1, 2025, focused on ongoing concerns regarding traffic safety at a problematic intersection in the community. Council members discussed the persistent feedback from residents about crashes and traffic violations, highlighting the need for a thorough investigation into the issue.
During the meeting, a council member emphasized the unique nature of complaints related to this intersection, noting that they have been consistent over the years. Unlike other locations where complaints may be sporadic, this intersection has drawn repeated attention from both residents and council members. The council agreed to investigate the source of these complaints further, aiming to understand whether they stem from local residents or drivers passing through.
Additionally, the council discussed the possibility of conducting a warrant analysis, which would assess the intersection's safety and traffic flow. This analysis would consider factors such as site distances and the intersection's configuration, which is complicated by its non-90-degree angle and nearby buildings. The council expressed a desire to ensure that any proposed changes would serve the community's best interests.
In conclusion, the council plans to direct the streets committee to take action on this matter, reflecting their commitment to addressing community concerns about traffic safety. Further studies and community feedback will guide the next steps in improving the intersection's safety for all users.
