Adopt Resolution #24-149 Authorizing Requests for Proposals for Riverstone North Intersection Control Evaluations

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. 

Staff will directly solicit requests for proposals from several local traffic engineering consultants.  

Observations:
Riverstone North is fully built-out so traffic volumes and patterns should not change significantly over time.

Alternatives:
Motion to adopt Resolution #24-149 recommending City Council approval to request proposals for Intersection Control Evaluations for Riverstone North. 

Staff initially proposes to utilize PIR funds to fund the evaluation.  This will be reevaluated once proposals are received and the cost is better understood. 

Staff recommends alternative #1. 


On May 21, 2024, the Public Works Committee recommended City Council approval to request proposals for the Intersection Control Evaluations for Riverstone North. 

Adopt Resolution #24-149 authorizing Requests for Proposals for Riverstone North Intersection Control Evaluations.
