<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />No Right Turn on Red <br />The School District has asked the City to request the County to erect “No Right <br />Turn on Red” during school hours at the for the intersection of County Road I and <br />Quincy Street. <br /> <br />The School District is in the process of developing a “school route plan” which <br />establishes the routes students should follow when walking to school. As per this <br />plan, the intersection of County Road I and Quincy Street represents a major <br />safety issue for most of the students walking to school (all except those <br />originating south of Co. Rd. I and east of Quincy Street). <br /> <br />Restricting right turns at this intersection during school hours will allow crossing <br />guards at this intersection to time the crossing of the students with the red phase <br />of the traffic signal without the possible conflict of vehicles wanting to turn right. <br /> <br />Staff has discussed this with the County. The County has indicated that they <br />would look into what impacts this proposal may have on traffic and safety at this <br />intersection. However, to begin the evaluation process, the City must first submit <br />a formal request with the County. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff is looking for direction from the City Council pertaining to these two <br />requests by the School District. Specifically, staff is looking for Council input on if <br />they should be pursued further. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Greg Lee, Director of Public Works
