HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A motion will be on the Hutchinson City Council agenda Tuesday to put the 30th and Lucille intersection back as it was before August of 2019, with no traffic signal, but Mayor Jon Richardson still wants to hear from his fellow council members as they meet Tuesday.
"I'm sure there will be a lot of discussion about it and clarity in regards to what a positive vote means and what a negative vote means on this agenda item," Richardson said. "Basically, we're going to make a decision as a council on if we are going to move forward and address it as a council or if we are going to leave it as is."
As phrased and placed on the agenda, a positive vote would be for as is, which means no traffic light. The council would have to vote no on the as is option to reopen the discussion, unless a member could bring a substitute motion that would be able to get a second and then be approved.
Richardson did not tip his hand on Monday as to how he would vote. The fundamental question is which option will have three votes to pass.
