The Goessel city council met on September 17 and discussed the intersection of Church Street and the baseball diamonds. Because of safety issues, west-bound traffic will now have to stop. The council authorized a stop sign at that intersection.
Turning their attention to another sign, the city discussed replacing the Goessel sign that is near the highway. The council expressed appreciation for the current sign, which was from the Goessel Lions Club, and has lasted many years. After all of those years, the sign is showing wear, and parts of it have fallen down from time to time and had to be put back up.
The council discussed various options for a new sign. They looked at pictures of what a new sign might look like and expressed their opinions on design and cost. They did not make a decision on a specific sign at this meeting but voted to spend no more than $8,000 on the sign. A slab will be poured to give a solid base for the sign.
