Resolution directing Traffic Control at the intersection of Trestle Trail, Owatonna Street, and Sibley Parkway by installing a Yield sign on the southbound approach of Trestle Trail. 

Adoption of the attached resolution.

In response to citizen service requests, staff conducted a comprehensive review of traffic control signage at associated intersections and roadway segments. The goal was to address safety concerns, improve clarity for drivers, and ensure compliance with the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MN MUTCD) and applicable City of Mankato policies in a consistent way.
 
On January 13, 2026, the Site Plan and Traffic Advisory Committee approved the recommendation to bring these items to the City Council for resolution with no additional conditions.

Citizen service requests included adding or modifying the type of intersection control including stop, yield, warning signs, and/or pavement markings.

Staff evaluated sight distance, crash history, posted speed, traffic volumes (including pedestrian and bicycle), functional class, existing signing/markings at the location of concern and in the immediate area, and proximity to special land uses such as schools and parks, to determine appropriate control measures.

The following change is proposed:

1. Install a Yield sign on Trestle Trail/Owatonna Street at the Intersection of Trestle Trail/Owatonna Street and Sibley Parkway.
