Village intends to remove stop signs at County Line railroad crossing

Only two very slow trains a day pass through town

More more "Stop, Look and Listen" at the County Line Road.

Bluffton council plans to remove the stop signs on County Line Road at the Norfolk Southern Railroad, stating the signs are "no longer necessary."

The first reading of the legislation will be read on Monday. The stop signs were put in place in the 1980s after a fatal accident occurred at the crossing. Since that time frequency of trains has decreased to two a day and the speed of those trains is at a very slow pace.

Additional council action and village updates are in the council packet attached at the bottom of this story.
