Traffic Signal Removal at Prescott and Taylor

Monterey

Summary

The old Presidio-gate signal at Prescott and Taylor will come down, replaced by an all-way stop. A 60-year resident and civil engineer objected that forcing everyone to stop is counterproductive, but the council agreed the step-down approach protects pedestrians near Campagnos and meets the April 2029 ADA deadline.
