AGENDA TITLE: Traffic Resolution Amendment - Maple Street at Washington Street .3,',d
DeForce Avenue at School Street, Intersection Cortrol
MEETING DATE: February 19, 1992
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution amending the raMc
Resolution #87-163 by approving the conversion of "yield" signs
to "stop" signs at the intersections of Maple Street at
Washinoton Street, and DeForce Avenue at School Street, as
shown on Exhibit A.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The intersections of Maple Street at Washington Street and
DeForce Avenue at School Street have been stgdied due to
their accident rates. The accident ;a'es at these two
locations ranked highest on our study list when compared to
all other intersections controlled with yield signs.
Available accident records for a three-year period indicate that at the intersection
of Maple Street and Washington Street, three of the six reported accidents were
correctable with the installation of stop signs. At the intersection of DeForce
Avenue and School Street, three of the nine reported accidents were correctable with
the installation of stop signs.
Based on the low traffic volumes and disproportionately high number of accidents.
staff recommends converting the "yield" signs to "stop" signs at both of these
intersections. Multi -way stop controls are not justified at either of these
locations.
FUNDING: Funding to be provided by the street ntenance account.
