Accept Resident Petition to Consider the Installation of a 3-Way Stop Condition at Tiger St and 171 St Ave

On 5/30/2013 staff received a petition from residents in the neighborhood near the intersection of Tiger St and 171 st Ave.  They are requesting the installation of a 3-Way stop condition at this intersection (see attached maps).

City Charter requires the Council to receive all petitions submitted at the next available meeting.  Traffic related requests such as this are typically forwarded to the Public Works Committee for review and comment prior to coming before the City Council for final direction.  The action item for this case is to accept the attached petition and forward to the Public Works Committee for Consideration.

The organizer of the petition will be notified that this item is being placed on the City Council consent agenda to accept the petition. She has already been instructed on the process that is required to investigate the matter, and the approximate timing to complete the analysis. 

The petition has 6 signatures from residents within 500 ft of the intersection as required by city policy.   Staff has reviewed the signatures and compared them to the Anoka County property records and they appear to match signatures of the property owners as identified in the Anoka County system.  There are additional properties in the area that are not represented on the petition.

Staff recommends accepting the attached petition and forwarding to the Public Works Committee for consideration.

The investigation and analysis of this petition request will be accomplished utilizing staff time.

Motion to accept the attached petition, for the installation of a 3-way stop condition at the intersection of Tiger St and 171st Ave and forward to the Public Works Committee for consideration.
