COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Traffic Studies - Discussion and Appropriate Action
d) Tokay Street and Crescent Avenue, Intersection Control
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the installation of
four-way stop signs at Tokay Street and Crescent Avenue.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Due to the number of accidents at this
intersection and citizen complaints, Public Works staff performed an
intersection study at the above location. Currently, Crescent Avenue stops
for Tokay Street. Crescent Avenue and Tokay Street have total daily volumes
of 2060 and 4470 vehicles, respectively. This volume split is usually not
appropriate for four-way stop signs.
However, based on the high number of accidents, staff recommends installing
four-way stop signs. In the recent 12 -month period, there have been a total
of 8 accidents and 7 of those accidents are correctable by four-way stop
signs. (See attached warrants. )

A four-way STOP sign installation is a useful traffic control measure when other
available means of control are not adequate. It should not be used unless the
volume of traffic on the intersecting roads is about equal and is undesirable at
low volume intersections.
