| BACKGROUND |
Approve a stop sign at the intersection of Division Street and Scott Avenue (Division stops for Scott)
There is a residence on the northwest corner of this intersection that has been hit several times over the years. The resident of the property requested that Division Street be dead-ended at Scott Avenue. Staff reviewed this request as well as other viable options. |
| ANALYSIS |
| There have been a few crashes near this intersection. However, most of them involved extenuating circumstances such as driving under the influence and fleeing police. I believe a reasonable solution is to install a stop sign at this intersection. It may not prevent all incidents but should help to mitigate the problem. |
| BOARD/COMMISSION INFORMATION |
| The Transportation Committee expressed support of this recommendation at the August meeting after roll-call vote (5-0). |
| FISCAL IMPACT |
| The fiscal impact of this ordinance change is the cost of a stop sign and steel pole which will be absorbed into the sign operations budget. |
| RECOMMENDATION |
| I recommend approval. |
