COUNCIL. COMMUNICATION
Agenda Title: Traffic Resolution Amendment - Lincoln Avenue and Louie Avenue. Intersection Control
Meeting Date: August 18, 1993
Prepared By: Public Works Director
Recommended Action: That the City Council adopt a resolution amending the Traffic Resolution $87-163 to
approve the conversion from yield' signs to 'stop' signs on Lincoln Avenue at
Louie Avenue as shown on the attached map (Exhibit A).
Background Information: The traffic control at the intersection of Lincoln Avenue and Louie Avenue has been
studied due to a citizen request and staffs concern regarding Me number of recent
accidents occurr°^g at this location. The City's informal guideline on installing traffic
controls on minor streets is based on traffic volumes and the number of correctable
accidents. Currently, Lincoln Avenue traffic is controlled by a yield sign at Louie Avenue.
Recent traffic volume counts on Lincoln Avenue and Louie Avenue are 395 and 610 vehicles per day,
respectively. Available accident records indicate that :he number of accidents correctable with the installation of
stop signs at this location has increased from one accident in 1992 to three accidents in 1993 (through mid July).
Although staff did not observe any unusual conditions at this location, the low traffic volumes and number of
correctable accidents indicates that a "stop" control Is appropriate for this location.
Based on these factors, staff recommends that City Council approve the conversion from yield' signs to "stop'
signs on Lincoln Avenue at Louie Avenue. Mufti -way stop controls are not justified at this location.
Funding: Funding to be provided by the Street Maintenance Account at an approximate cost of $450.
