It is recommended the signs face Lynette Place and Berry Drive. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> City Staff was contacted by two separate residents after a reported accident occurred. The intersection is currently uncontrolled <br /> with no yield or stop sign present.A review of accidents at this intersection did show one accident in the last three years that may <br /> have been avoidable with stop signs. Combined with the low traffic volume of 565 vehicles per day driving through the <br /> intersection,the accident rate is high enough to warrant installing stop signs. City staff proposes installing stop signs facing <br /> Lynette Place and Berry Drive since Lynette Drive is the primary street with higher traffic volumes. <br /> SCHEDULE: Stop signs are usually installed within 10 days of approval. <br /> PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: <br /> There have been no prior Council actions. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: No objections anticipated. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: None <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Matt Newell,Public Works Director,and Don Cisco,Engineering Project Manager.Matt Newell,Public <br /> Works Director,will be in attendance at the City Council meeting to answer any questions of the Council on this item. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: <br /> Budget Impact: Budgetary impacts are approximately$200 for the installation of the requested signs and pavement markings. <br /> Staffing Impact: Approximately 4 hours of staff time to make and install the signs. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> Description Type <br /> Ordinance Authorizing the Installation of Stopigns at <br /> the Intersection of North Lynette Drive at West Berry_ Ordinance <br /> Drive and North Lynette Place Facing West Berry Drive <br /> and North Lynette Place <br /> Location Map and Report Backup Material <br /> https://decatur.novusagenda.com/agendaweb/CoverSheet.aspx?ItemID=4571 1/1 <br />
