The City of Teague Board of Aldermen met on Tuesday, Jan. 21, for their monthly meeting. Throughout the meeting, the board approved placing several street signs in town due to safety concerns. All board members were present except for Bridget Gauntt.

Deanna Gaskins addressed the board about Waco Street, which is the street she lives on. The street is paved, but it has a gravel section as well. She noted that Waco Street is only wide enough for one vehicle at a time, also saying vehicles go way too fast around the corner and something needs to be done to make it a safer road.

“It is just too dangerous,” Gaskins said. “I am here tonight asking you to please do something to make the street safer. Some drivers are going way too fast and someone is going to get hurt.”
