Stop Sign added to Rochester-Cherry intersection

A new stop sign has been hung this week at the intersection of Rochester and Cherry streets near the former National Guard Armory. 

The intersection will now be a three-way stop. Before, traffic traveling west on Rochester did not stop while vehicles going east on Rochester or north on Cherry had a stop sign. 

Complaints of high-speed drivers through the intersection has prompted the change. 

White stop bars will also be painted on the streets at the three-way stop.
