Title:
Consider Recommendation to City Council to Request Proposals for Intersection Control Evaluations for Riverstone North
Purpose/Background:
A resident of Riverstone North has requested the installation of STOP signs at 4 different intersections in the Riverstone North residential development. A total of 13 intersections exist in the Riverstone North development. Attached is a figure showing these streets.
Based on a preliminary review of these intersections Staff believes one or more STOP signs may be warranted. However, Staff is concerned that changing the traffic control layout at one intersection may adversely affect traffic operations at one or more other intersections due to drivers changing their routes to avoid the new STOP signs. Therefore, Staff recommends enlisting the services of a traffic engineer to complete an intersection control evaluation for the entire Riverstone North development.
