Item #2 Request for stop signs along North 25th Street at its intersection with East <br /> North Street. <br /> City staff received a request from a resident for stop signs at the intersection of E.North Street <br /> and N. 25th Street citing accidents as the reason for the request. <br /> Upon reviewing accident records it was found that there have been four recorded accidents at <br /> this intersection within the last three years.All of them perpendicular angle collisions with most <br /> of them involving eastbound vehicles striking southbound vehicles. <br /> Traffic counts were performed and found a total of 612 vehicles entering the intersection per day <br /> with 351 of them on E.North Street and 261 of them on N. 25th Street. The accident rate at this <br /> intersection is 5.97 accidents per million vehicles entering the intersection. Typically,the Traffic <br /> and Parking Commission looks for accident rates above 1.5 accidents per million vehicles <br /> entering the intersection to determine if stop signs are warranted. <br /> Due to the high rate of accidents relative to the traffic volume City staff recommends installing <br /> stop signs facing N. 25th Street at its intersection with E.North Street as 25th Street has the lower <br /> volumes. <br /> City staff recommends placing stop signs along North 25th Street at its intersection with East <br /> North Street. <br /> Matt Newell motioned to move forward with placing stop signs along North 25th Street at its <br /> intersection with East North Street. Seconded by Joselyn Stewart, and on call of the roll, <br /> Commission Members Broderick,Newell, Hurst, Wigginton and Stewart voted aye. The <br /> chairman declared the motion carried. <br />
