<br />I I <br />, <br />~ CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: September 8, 1995 <br />I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator Q2 <br />I FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent <br /> SUBJECT: Installation of County Road F Multi-Way Stop Sign <br />I Background <br /> At the previous Arden Hills Council meeting on August 28, 1995, the Public Works & Safety <br />I Committee recommended that Council approve the installation of a three way stop sign at the <br /> intersection of County Road F and F airview A venue. After discussion and comments from <br />I several residents, Council suggested the City Engineer review the request and give a professional <br /> opinion in this matter. <br />I City Engineer Review <br /> As documented in his September 6, 1995 letter (attached) to City Administrator Brian Fritsinger, <br /> City Engineer Mauer states his opinion on this matter. Mr. Mauer analyzes the warrants or <br />.. justifications for installing a multi-way stop sign at this location, He would recommend against <br /> installation if slowing the average speed on County Road F is the only reason for considering a <br /> stop sign at this location However, if additional reasons, such as pedestrian movements crossing <br />I County Road F or vehicular traffic trying to enter County Road F from Fairview Avenue are <br /> present, then the installation is valid, <br />I Additional Staff Input <br /> Public Works staff believes that the stop sign installation is justified, if only to provide for easier <br /> vehicular entry onto County Road F from Fairview Avenue. In addition, although not consistent <br />I with Engineer Mauer's conclusions, public works staff also believes the installation of a stop sign <br /> will have some effect of slowing traffic, <br />I Recommendation <br /> Staff recommends that Council reconsider the original recommendation of the Public Works & <br /> Safety Committee and approve the installation of a three-way stop sign at the intersection of <br />I County Road F and Fairview Avenue, <br />I DS\jt <br />I <br />f' <br />I <br />
