BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Publ is Works Department has received a request for additional control at the intersection of Poplar Street and Washington Street. The intersection is four -legged with two-way traffic permitted on all legs except the north leg, which is one-way for southbound traffic due to the narrow width. The intersection is controlled by yield signs on Poplar Street at Washington Street (see attached). In response to this request, staff reviewed traffic volumes, available accident records, and performed a safe approach speed analysis. The traffic volumes indicate that the existing yield controls are regulating major street traffic (Poplar). The approach volumes on Poplar Street and Washington Street are approximately 900 and 550 vehicles per day, respectively. Available accident records show that there have been two accidents in the past three years; none in 1986, two in 1987, and none in 1988. There have been none in 1989 to date. Both accidents were right-of-way violations. The safe approach speed analysis was performed on all four legs of the intersection and indicates that whether or not the controls are reversed, stop signs would be appropriate. A multi -way stop analysis was also performed, however, the guidelines were not met. If this intersection had no existing controls, the recommendation would be for a stop sign on Washington. However, staff is reluctant to recommend reversal of existing controls in the absence of an accident problem or significant disparity in volume. Staff feels that the "yield" signs should be converted to "stop" signs regar9llpss if the controls are reversed. CJa L.
