<br />WS – Item 1 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 1 <br /> <br /> <br />Date: August 7, 2017 <br /> <br />To: City Council <br /> <br />From: Diane Hankee, City Engineer <br /> <br />Re: Traffic Safety Evaluations <br />Arlo Lane and Bald Eagle Boulevard <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The Traffic Safety Committee has been reviewing two ongoing traffic evaluations in the <br />following neighborhoods: <br /> <br />1. Bluebill Ponds along Arlo Lane – traffic speed concern <br /> <br />2. West Oaks along Bald Eagle Boulevard – traffic speed and sight distance at pedestrian cross <br />walk concern <br /> <br />Arlo Lane <br /> <br />In April, the City received a speed complaint and request to provide an all way stop condition on <br />Arlo Lane at the intersections of either Joseph Street or Highland Drive. An initial investigation <br />was completed and reviewed by the City Council at the June 5, 2017 work session. Based on the <br />data collected and engineering review it was determined that an all way stop in either of these <br />locations was not warranted. <br /> <br />Following additional discussion with neighborhood residents additional analysis was requested <br />which modified the location and time frame in which the traffic data was collected. The <br />additional data was collected at two locations on Arlo Lane from Friday, June 9th through Tuesday <br />June 13th. An updated traffic evaluation memorandum was prepared by WSB and is included <br />with this report. The review indicated that the 85th percentile speeds are near the posted 30 mph <br />speed limit. The traffic counts are typical for a residential street volumes and far short of <br />volumes required to meet all-way Stop Sign warrants. <br /> <br />Based on the results of the additional data collection staff’s recommendation is: <br /> <br />1. No change in existing traffic control. <br />
