Stop sign installation at 2"d Ave EN & E. Washington
MEETING DATE: May 21, 2001
BACKGROUND: Following the request from Roni Palicz about her concern for
safety at 2"d Ave EN & Washington Street, we studied the accident history at that
intersection to determine if the warrants were met under MUTCD for a stop sign. We
additionally requested Public Works conduct a traffic analysis to determine the
appropriate installation, if any, for the signs.
Both the traffic analysis and the accident history indicate a two-way stop sign at
that intersection is warranted under the MUTCD standards. The traffic analysis shows
East Washington is the primary street which requires the stop signs to be placed on 2nd
Ave EN at the intersection of East Washington
I am therefore recommending the council pass a resolution to allow for the
installation of stop signs on 2"d Ave EN at East Washington Street.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Council should pass a resolution allowing for stop signs on
2"1 Ave EN & East Washington Street.
FISCAL EFFECTS: None
ALTERNATIVES: As recommended by Council.
Respectfully submitted,
Chief of Police
