The consensus of the Council regarding this request was, to <br /> install the stop signs .The petition for the stop sign accompanies this <br /> report. <br /> Staff spoke to a resident in the Groveland neighborhood area regarding a <br /> request for a three way stop sign installation at the intersection of Ardan <br /> Ave. and Fairchild Ave. The resident proceeded to explain of an incident <br /> of a young child entering Ardan Ave. from the pathway that connects LaPort <br /> Drive and Ardan Ave . Apparently this child was nearly involved in an <br /> accident with a motor vehicle . <br /> I explained that it was staff' s opinion that the intersection probably <br /> would not meet the warrants for a three way stop. Staff continued by <br /> explaining the procedure required for the possible installation of <br /> regulatory signs . Since that date staff has received a petition from <br /> residents in the area. Staff explained that the petition would be brought <br /> before the City Council for their consideration. At that time staff would <br /> provide council with all pertinent information available regarding the <br /> intersection and the warrants for a stop sign installation. It would then <br /> be Council' s decision whether to direct staff to conduct a traffic study <br /> of the intersection and surrounding appenditures . <br /> Staff requested traffic reports from the Police Department for the past Two <br /> years for the intersection in question. To date there has been no accidents <br /> at the intersection, although there was a bicycle/vehicle accident, where <br /> the bicyclist ran into a vehicle on Ardan Ave, after entering the street . <br /> Traffic counts have not been taken through this intersection, although in <br /> 1993 only 1000 vehicles crossed the intersection of Ardan Ave . at Groveland <br /> Road (both directions) . The warrants for Average Daily Traffic (ADT) for <br /> merely a two way stop sign is 3, 000 ADT. <br /> Staff did offer to install small stop signs on the pathway at the entrance <br /> to Ardan Ave . These signs are on order, and will be placed on all pathways <br /> that enter streets . <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works <br />
