Each crossing is summarized below. <br /> <br />Marked Crosswalk Installation Flowchart: <br /> <br />Each crossing location was reviewed using the flowchart from the MnDOT Traffic Engineering <br />Manual, June 2015, shown in Appendix B. <br /> <br />Based on review of the flowchart for the crossings at the intersection of CSAH 34 (Birch Street) at <br />School Entrance / Tomahawk Trail a marked crossing should be install and additional treatments <br />considered. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Based on review of the flowchart for the crossings at the intersection of CSAH 34 (Birch Street) at <br />West Shadow Lake Drive a marked crossing is not recommended however, additional treatments <br />should be considered. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Sight Distance: <br /> <br />Vehicle stopping sight distance is the distance covered by a vehicle during a stopping procedure. <br />SSD should be provided at all pedestrian crossings.
