AGENDA TITLE: Traffic Studies - Discussion and Appropriate Action
a) Walnut Street and Garfield Street, Intersection Control
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Relocate yield signs on Garfield Street to Walnut
Street at the Garfield/Walnut intersection.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION In response to a citizen complaint (see attached
petition), City Council directed staff to study the Garfield/Walnut
intersection. Based on the traffic counts and safe approach study performed
recently, staff recommends relocating the yield signs to Walnut Street. The
yield signs should control the lower volume street; however, Garfield Street
has a higher daily traffic volume than Walnut Street (690 vehicles per day
vs. 500 vehicles per day).
The accident records were reviewed which indicated four of seven accidents in
less than four years (January 1984 - October 1987) were caused by failure to
yield. (See attached exhibit.) These types of accidents should be corrected
with the yield signs controlling the proper street.
