Transportation (Pedestrian Safety)

This legislative resolution (LR 40) requests the City of Lincoln and the Nebraska State Capitol Environs Commission to install stop signs at both northbound and southbound corners of Fourteenth Street and Lincoln Mall. It directly addresses traffic safety concerns at this intersection near the State Capitol, where a removed stop sign and changed traffic patterns have created hazards for pedestrians, especially students and unfamiliar visitors. The resolution does not create new law but formally asks these entities to implement the stop signs to improve safety. As a resolution, it has no binding effect but aims to prompt action on a specific traffic safety issue.
