ain IM ilia e <br /> DATE : APPRCY, �AL,V <br /> JJ 1 <br /> August S , 199R <br /> TO <br /> Mayor and rnunni 1mP_mhPr.-_ <br /> FROM : Larry Hamer, Public-- Work.-, njrPc-_tnr <br /> STOP SIGN PETITION - MURRAY AVENUE AND COOLIDGE STREET <br /> The attached petition is a request for a three-way stop at the intersection <br /> of Murray Avenue and Coolidge Street. <br /> A traffic count was taken for 29th Avenue to St. Anthony Boulevard and from <br /> St. Anthony Boulevard to Kenzie Terrace on Coolidge Street. The traffic <br /> from 29th to St. Anthony Boulevard is almost triple the traffic flow from <br /> St. Anthony Boulevard to Kenzie Terrace. <br /> It is my opinion that this road is being used as a by-pass road to St. <br /> Anthony Boulevard rather than going to Silver Lake Road and then to St. <br /> Anthony Boulevard. It appears that drivers use the by-pass route because <br /> of the heavy build up of traffic turning left on Silver Lake Road at St. <br /> Anthony Boulevard. <br /> The Police have taken radar checks for the same routes and found some <br /> excessive speeding on Coolidge. One person was tagged. <br /> I recommend the three-way stop be approved for the following reasons: <br /> 1) high usage; <br /> 2) speeding; and <br /> 3 ) number of residents in favor of the signs. <br /> :cjk <br />
