PUBLIC WORKS MEMORANDUM <br /> NO. 2012- 53 <br /> DATE: June 26, 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 Authorizing the Installation of Stop Signs at the Intersection of E. <br /> Decatur Street and 22"d Place facing 22"d Place <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Staff recommends the approval of the attached Ordinance authorizing the installation of stop <br /> signs at the intersection of E. Decatur Street and 22"d Place facing 22nd Place. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> On June 12, 2012, the Traffic & Parking Commission approved a request from City staff <br /> recommending that stop signs be installed at the intersection of E. Decatur Street and 22"d Place <br /> with the stop signs facing 22"d Place. <br /> Staff recommends that stop signs be installed as a result of a traffic study performed by the <br /> Public Works Department showing two accidents occurring over the past three years at a low <br /> volume intersection combined with poor sight distance indicating 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 $250 <br /> for the installation of the requested signs and pavement markings and approximately 2 hours of <br /> 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 424- <br /> 2747 <br /> Matt Newell, City Engineer, at 424-2747 <br /> Pagel <br />
