V - CONCL USIONS / RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> Based on the school crossing analysis outlined in the previous section, the following conclusions can <br /> be made. <br /> • Based on existing traffic volumes and pedestrian volumes, the existing crossing is <br /> functioning adequately with respect to the number of gaps provided for crossing the <br /> roadway. <br /> • The existing crossing does not justify, based on Ivin/DOT justification criteria, a <br /> flashing beacon system. <br /> • The safest condition for pedestrians would be crossing at a location where vehicles <br /> are required to stop (i.e. CSAH 14 at CSAH 21). <br /> Based on the conclusions outlined above, the following recommendations are made. <br /> 1. Alternative 2, signing/striping improvements be implemented. <br /> 2, The recommendations as outlined in the Anoka County study of January 7, 1998, be <br /> implemented with respect to sign placement, sight lines and right -of -way clearing. <br /> 3. On a long term basis, the school crossing should be relocated to the 4 -way stop sign <br /> controlled intersection at CSAH 14 and CSAH 21 (Alternative 3) to provide forthe <br /> safety of crossing pedestrians. This should be accomplished when the City is prepared <br /> to provide sidewalks in and around this area. <br /> 4. If the City / School District are unwilling to relocate the crosswalk, and still request <br /> a flashing beacon system, it is recommended that an advanced pedestal mounted <br /> flashing beacon system be installed. <br /> School Crossing Study <br /> Anoka County <br /> WSB Project No. 1044.09 Page 6 <br />
