MEMORANDUM
July 14, 1998
: Interim City Manager, Glen Neier
FROM: Interim Chief of Police, Frank Garner
SUBJ : Intersection of 8' Street and 8' Avenue West
Mr. Neier,
ADOISON H. CLARK
chief of FMCS
DONALD A. HOSSACK
ASSL Ct"f
I have recently completed a traffic study of the uncontrolled intersection
of 8' Street and 8'b Avenue West in Kalispell. My research indicates that more
accidents involving Failure to Yield the Right of Way have occurred at that
intersection over the last year than at any other uncontrolled intersection in
Kalispell. -
I have spoken to the traffic officers and they agree that the intersection of
8' Street and 8' Avenue West in Kalispell has a long history of accidents related
to its uncontrolled status. In reviewing the relevant empirical data and officers
comments I am recommending we post stop signs on 8" Street for east and west
bound traffic, resulting in a two-way stop. I would also recommend we not
place stop signs on 8m Avenue West for north and south bound traffic.
This change in status should be accompanied by the appropriate resolution
or ordinance, as you see fit. I will direct an action order to the Street Department
for the work at that intersection at your request.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Attached is a copy of the
accident survey and a letter from a resident who lives adjacent to that intersection
requesting the change.

Dear Jim,
This letter is a follow-up on our phone conversation
today. I would like you to begin the process of
investigating whether stop signs could be put in at the
intersection of 8th Ave West and 8th Street West.
We have lived at 748 - 8th Ave West for the past 12
years and have witnessed an increasing number of
accidents at this intersection. It seems I dial 911
at least once a month to report another accident.
Gratefully, most do not involve the need for an
ambulance but the costs for bent metal must be high.
For each actual accident there are many more near -
misses. It has become nerve-wracking to sit on the
porch and watch them.
Any help you can give us in starting a traffic study
of this dangerous intersection will be greatly
appreciated. Please feel free to involve us in the
process if it is appropriate.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter. And
thank you for your hard work for us during this time
of dissention within the City government. Your
positions have been supported by the voters in your
precinct.
Judy and Rich Kraft
