Clerk -Administrator and City Council <br />Page Two of Four <br />July 26, 1985 <br />1973 <br />- 650 <br />A.D.T <br />1975 <br />- 400 <br />A.D.T. <br />1977 <br />- 550 <br />A.D.T. <br />1979 <br />- 700 <br />A.D.T. <br />1981 <br />- 700 <br />A.D.T. <br />1983 - <br />900 <br />A.D.T. <br />On Wednesday, June 12, 1985, a traffic counter was placed on <br />Eastwood Road at Ardan Avenue. The counter determined that the <br />A.D.T. was 362 vehicles. <br />Attached please find a copy of Chapter 68 of the City's <br />Comprehensive Land Use Plan that says "Traffic Volumes 1979". The <br />Traffic Volumes (A.D.T.) in the area of these intersections for <br />1983 are hand written next to the 1979 A.D.T. <br />Stops signs are presently located at these intersections as <br />follows: <br />1) Oakwood Drive stops at Quincy Street. <br />2) Jackson Drive stops at Bronson Drive. <br />3) Ardan Avenue stops at Spring Lake Road. <br />4) Ardan Avenue stops at Eastwood Road. ' <br />i <br />Are additional stops needed at these intersections? The answer <br />depends on numerous variables. The variables, criteria, or reasons <br />for installating a stop sign that I use are as follows: <br />1) Increased traffic. <br />2) High accident rate. <br />3) Large percentage of speeders on the street. <br />4) Intersection is near a park. <br />5) Long distance between existing stop sign.s <br />6) City desires to reduce traffic in a residential area (i.e., <br />installating a stop sign and discouraging through traffic on <br />that street). <br />Let us examine each intersection and indicate the possible <br />solutions, discussion and recommendations. <br />1. QUINCY STREET AND OAKWOOD DRIVE <br />Possible Solutions: <br />1) Do nothing. <br />2) Create a four-way stop sign intersection. <br />j <br />
