EDISON — Drivers need to be aware that two new Stop signs will be installed within the next month in the village.
One Stop sign will be on Boundary Street at Williams and Broadway Streets (by the Post Office.) Another Stop sign will be on Boundary at State Street (just after the railroad tracks when entering Edison from the north.
Edison street supervisor Rod Clinger reported that he is waiting to have utilities check for lines before setting in the posts for the signs.
Council member Erica Walsh suggested that signs be put up to let people know ahead of time. Council decided to make sure a note is posted on the main yellow Municipal Building sign and on Facebook as well as in the newspaper.
Clinger said there will be signs posted with “Stop Ahead” several feet ahead of the new signs.
