The Texarkana, Texas City Council will begin discussions tonight on installing a traffic signal at a busy intersection where a 4-way stop sign was recently installed.

The intersection at Galleria Oaks and Cowhorn Creek currently has a four way stop. Due to traffic flow in that area, the council is looking at putting in a red light there instead. There will be initial discussions about it tonight with a public hearing slated for the first council meeting in the month of June. An eventual council vote would come no later than the first meeting in the month of July, if not before that time.

Here is a complete agenda for tonight's meeting that gets under way at 6PM at Texas side City Hall:
