Excerpts from the <br /> Traffic & Parking Commission Meeting <br /> August 23, 2012 <br /> Item#1 Request for an all way stop at the intersection of Leafland Avenue and Pine <br /> Street <br /> Matt Newell received petitions from the residents near the intersection of Leafland Avenue and <br /> Pine Street about the traffic at this intersection and the danger to small children living in the <br /> neighborhood. Matt Newell said that the sight distance is fairly poor at the intersection. <br /> Currently there is a yield sign there. There is a high accident rate at this location. There have <br /> been six recorded traffic accidents over a three year period. The accident rate at Pine and <br /> Leafland is 5.89 accidents per million vehicles entering the intersection. Traffic &Parking <br /> Commission has historically tried to keep the accident rate below 1.5 accidents per million <br /> vehicles entering the intersection as a threshold for requiring stop signs. <br /> Staff recommends installing a four way stop and pulling parking back from the intersection to <br /> improve visibility. <br /> Marian Winter motioned to approve the recommendation; seconded by Jim Chervinko, and on <br /> call of the roll, Commission Member Winter, Meador, Chervinko, Stewart,Newell, Nihiser, <br /> Enyart, Marley voted aye. The Secretary declared the motion carried. <br />
