Officers are scheduled to be at the intersection seven days a week from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.

Mayor Jeff Gore told News Center 7 that new businesses have created more traffic. He said having officers at the intersection is the first step in developing a long-term plan to help with congestion.

Rick Grogg a driver in the area explains ”it would be a good 20... 25 minutes. but when I pulled up here I noticed it was all backed up in the intersection over there.”

The mayor said the city council is also considering hiring an engineering firm to look at everything from traffic patterns to traffic lights.
