PUBLIC WORKS MEMORANDUM <br /> NO. 2012 - 73 <br /> DATE: September 5, 2012 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor McElroy and City Council Members <br /> FROM: Ryan P. McCrady, City Manager <br /> Richard G. Marley, P.E., Public Works Director <br /> SUBJECT: Ordinance Establishing All Way Stop Intersection at Leafland Avenue and <br /> Pine Street <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Staff recommends the approval of the attached Ordinance authorizing the installation of an all <br /> way stop at the intersection of Leafland Avenue and Pine Street. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> On August 23, 2012,the Traffic&Parking Commission approved a request from City staff <br /> recommending that an all way stop be installed at the intersection of Leafland Avenue and Pine <br /> Street. <br /> Staff recommends that stop signs be installed as a result of a traffic study performed by the <br /> Public Works Department showing six accidents occurring over a three year period at this <br /> intersection despite yield signs currently facing Pine Street. This combined with poor sight <br /> distance indicates the need for stop signs. <br /> The Traffic and Parking Commission's recommendation is attached with the ordinance for <br /> Council's review. <br /> SCHEDULE: Installation is normally completed within 10 days of Council authorization. <br /> BUDGET AND STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: Budgetary impacts are approximately <br /> $1,000.00 for the installation of the requested signs and pavement markings and approximately 2 <br /> hours of staff time to make and install the signs. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: No objections anticipated. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Traffic and Parking Commission <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Richard Marley, Public Works Director, at <br /> 424-2747 <br /> Matt Newell, City Engineer, at 424-2747 <br /> Page I 1 <br />
