Stop signs on the way

Chico’s Public Works Department will be installing stop signs at three intersections due to public safety concerns. Two of the intersections have higher than average collisions and obstructed sightlines for drivers.

At East Fourth and Flume streets, there have been eight collisions since 2012; at Parmac Road and Rio Lindo Avenue, near where many people access mental and physical health care services, there have been six collisions in the same period. On Sherman Avenue and East Third Avenue, the city is installing the signs because of nearby Storybook Schoolhouse Preschool and Hooker Oak Elementary.
