Rice Street <br />Shoreview, MN 55126 <br />(612) 484 -9104 • Fax 482 -5232 <br />The Ramsey County Public Works Department has received the request <br />from the City of Little Canada to evaluate the need for an all -way <br />stop at the intersection of Keller Parkway and Lakeside Court. <br />The intersection is . of standard three -leg design. Currently the <br />Lakeside Court approach to the intersection stops for both <br />approaches of Keller Parkway. The posted speed limit on Keller <br />Parkway and Lakeside Court is 30 miles per hour. Lakeside Court is a <br />cul -de -sac which serves approximately ten homes. <br />A review of accidents over the period January 1990 through the <br />present indicate zero accidents occurred at this intersection over <br />the 4 1/2 year period. <br />Traffic volume approach counts taken in July 1994 indicate <br />sufficient volumes are not present to warrant the installation of an <br />all -way stop as per the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control <br />Devices. The stop control is warranted for zero hours and eight <br />hours are required for installation. All -way stop control is <br />recommended at intersections where the volume of traffic on all <br />approaches is approximately equal. In this case the approach volume <br />on Lakeside Court is very minor compared to that of Keller Parkway <br />(the traffic volume on Keller Parkway was 2600 vehicles per day <br />compared to 107 vehicles per day on Lakeside Court). <br />Because the installation of an all -way stop at this intersection is <br />not warranted by either traffic volumes or accidents, it is <br />recommended that the existing controls be retained. If you have any <br />questions regarding this traffic study feel free to give me a call <br />at 482 -5209. <br />Sincerely, <br />F. <br />Daniel E.
