Per that policy, all minor streets intersecting a "through" street are to be controlled by a stop sign. Both Mills Avenue and Evergreen Drive are classified as "through" streets. Staff's concern at the listed locations is the need for a traffic control as restrictive as a "stop" sign on a minor street intersection adjacent to the end of a "through" street. Citizen complaints regarding the need for "stop" signs at these locations have also been received. Although staff feels right-of-way control is necessary at these locations, a "yield" control may be nm suitable until the "through" street is extended. Available accident records from 1987 to the present indicate that there have been no accidents at any of these locations. Traffic volumes on "through" streets are generally over 2,000 vehicles per day, however, the volumes generally drop at the end of a roadway as many drivers have already turned off of the street. Staff has field checked these locations and found no existing structures or vegetation. creating a sight obstruction at this time. These locations will continue to be monitored. APPROVED:; THOMAS A.

Sack L Ronsko PWorks Director JLR/lm Enclosure d cc: City Clerk NREIMBUR/TXTW.02M 1A, ter October 31, 1991NO 9 %Cl Subject: Traffic Resolution Amendment regarding intersection at Royal Crest Drive and Mills Avenue Dear City Cr_unc i 1 Members: Since we will be cut of town and unable to attend the November 6th meeting and since I ro not want to go into great detail explaining my family's experience at this intersection, I would just like to make a +e -A comments. I still cannot see how the stretch of street south of Vine Street on Mills Avenue can be considered a "through" street. There is no conceiveable way 2,000 vehicles ever drive that stetch in one day. Even if all the residents living on that section c -F Mills, Stafford, Tudor and Downing Streets (plus those on Park and Cardinal Streets which pr+es. _useably would use Nam Lane to enter that secluded area), each household would have to make about 10 trips per household. Possibly marry do, however I doubt it. When that resolution �,�s passed on December 2, 1997 I do not see why Mi !Is Averse was defined as a collector street from Turner Road to the south city limit. At that time and presently, Mills is cut off by the irrigation canal and county property. I have inquired on various occasions in the past 20 years as to when this county property might be annexed to the city and have always been told no date in the foreseeable future. Once and if Mills kvenue is conre_ctad to Kettlaran Lane, then it will definitely be a thraigh street. It vm very interesting to me that Ham Lane which I would have assumed woald have been a collector street from H4rney Lane to it5 north city 1 imit (Edge,aood Drive), but that was only designated to Turner Road at the northern end. Past Laketicxod School the first intersecting street has a stop sign. The second intersecting street has a yield sign. The third intersecting street has nothing and this is coming off Edgew od Drive which is not a dead end. But by definition Ham Lane is only a collector street between Harney and Turner. '111 the streets entering Cochran Lane have no traffic control and there you ect people to slew down as they decide whether to turn left or right. Here . corner of Royal Crest and Mills, unless you live or are visiting across -eet in the two houses to the left, all traffic turns right. In my �n there is not even a need for a yield sign at that interesection, should also be given to the stop sign at the intersection of `lis. No traffic control or a yield it seems would be sufficient what I have observed and if the definition of a through Mills Avenue Were limited to Turner to Vine. •k Kiriu were both very courteous and helpful when I regarding tnis intersection. f aiger dt AW
