The following are example letters and emails that can be used as a guide or template, when communicating <br />with citizens. <br />IAll -Way Stop Control Crosswalk Form Letter <br />Dear Mr./Ms. XXXX, <br />Thank you again for reaching out to us. You have requested that the City add a new marked crosswalk <br />across "Study Roadway/Intersection". <br />This intersection is currently all way stop controlled. A controlled location is a crosswalk at an intersection <br />with all way stop control on the approaches to the crossing. <br />For clarification, every intersection is a crosswalk. Adding marked crosswalks alone will not make crossings <br />safer, nor will they necessarily result in more vehicles stopping for pedestrians. Crosswalk markings are <br />installed to provide guidance for pedestrians who are crossing roadways by defining and delineating paths <br />on intersection approaches or across the street. To maximize effectiveness, marked crosswalks should be <br />installed carefully and selectively. <br />In general we do not paint the crosswalks at all way stop intersections. Crosswalk markings are installed <br />to provide guidance for pedestrians who are crossing roadways by defining and delineating paths on <br />approaches to intersections where traffic stops. At locations controlled by STOP signs, crosswalk markings <br />should be installed where engineering judgment indicates they are needed to direct pedestrians to the <br />proper crossing path(s). Since each of these intersections are square, there is little confusion on the path <br />for pedestrians to cross, as a result, we would not recommend painting crosswalks at this intersection. <br />Since the above criteria were not met, the Traffic Committee does not recommend a marked crosswalk at <br />this location. <br />If you have any questions, please let me know. <br />Addressing Citizen Requests For Traffic Safety Concerns 37 <br />
