Resolution $57-153 to approve the conversion of "yield" suns

Louie 4ven+:e a: Pleasant Avenue as shown on thel attached map.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The intersections of Avena Avenue at Walnut; Street and
Louie Avenue at Pleasant Avenue have been sltudied due to
their accident rates. The accident rates aft these
locations rank nigh on our study list of intersections
controlled by "yield" signs.
Available accident records over the three-year period from 1989 thrdugh 1951
indicate there have been three accidents at the intersection of Avena Avenue and
Walnut Street and two accidents at the intersection of Louie Avenue and
Pleasant Avenue correctable with the installation of "stop" signs.
Based on the department's intersection control guidelines, a "stop" ;control i s
recommended on Avena Avenue at Walnut Street due to the low traffic /volumes and
disproportionately high number of accidents. A "stop" control is al:5o recommended
on Louie Avenue at Pleasant Avenue due to the number of accidents and the low
approach speeds necessary for drivers on Louie Avenue to see approachin vehicles on
Pleasant Avenue. Multi -way stop controls -ire not justified at either of these
intersections.
