<br />WS – Item 2 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 2 <br /> <br /> <br />Date: June 5, 2017 <br /> <br />To: City Council <br /> <br />From: Diane Hankee, City Engineer <br /> <br />Re: Arlo Lane Stop Sign Request <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />In response to a request for a stop sign along Arlo Lane, the City Council directed the <br />City’s Traffic Safety Committee to evaluate an all way stop condition on Arlo Lane at the <br />intersections of both Joseph Street and Highland Drive. The detailed evaluation memo is <br />enclosed. <br /> <br />Traffic evaluation data was collected onsite by video and traffic counters. The result of the <br />data collection indicated that the vehicle and pedestrian traffic volumes were well under the <br />threshold for meeting all way stop warrants. These volumes were typical for residential <br />streets. <br /> <br />The speed limit on Arlo Lane is 30 mph. Speed data was collected to identify the 85th <br />percentile speed, which is the speed 85 percent of drivers are at or below. The data showed <br />the 85th percentile speed at 25 mph. There were only 2 occurrences of vehicles over 30 mph <br />during the 2 day monitoring period. <br /> <br />In summary, the intersections do not meet the warrants for all-way stop sign installation <br />and the following is recommended: <br /> <br />1. No change in existing traffic control. <br /> <br />2. Continue to provide police presence in the area. <br /> <br />3. Traffic control at the intersection should continue to be monitored and, if at any <br />time there are demonstrated safety concerns, the City may reevaluate the <br />installation of the intersection control. <br /> <br />Requested Council Direction <br />None at this time <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />1.
