It is recommended the signs face Cambridge 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 and two <br /> accidents in the last four that may have been avoidable with stop signs. Combined with the low traffic volume of 562 vehicles per <br /> day driving through the intersection,the accident rate is high enough to warrant installing stop signs.City staff proposes installing <br /> stop signs facing Cambridge Drive since Canterbury 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: 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. This <br /> Memorandum was prepared by Don Cisco,Engineering Project Manager <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 /> OrdinanceAu ho Wng the Installation of Ston-aigns at <br /> the ntersection of North Cambridge Drive and Ordinance <br /> Canteuty Drive Facing North Cambridge Drive <br /> nterbury&Cambridge Location MapBackup Material <br /> https://decatur.novusagenda.com/agendaweb/CoverSheet.aspx?ItemID=5022 1/1 <br />
