Here is the agenda provided by the committee:
1. Call to Order – Laura Klauer
2. Roll Call – Laura Klauer
3. Approval of minutes of the Traffic Engineering Committee meeting of July 5, 2022.
4. Request for flashing stop signs at 12th Avenue and 10th Street.
Explanation: Resident sent email to mayor regarding installing flashing lights at this intersection. States she hears “horns and screeching tires” on a daily basis. This intersection is currently a 3- way stop. Traffic traveling south on 10th Street does not have a stop-sign.
Matt Russell provided crash reports from 1/1/17 to present; 2017: 1, 2018: 1, 2019: 1, 2020: 0, 2021: 0, 2022: 2 (see attached reports)
5. Request for “no parking” signs to be placed on both sides of 29th Street.
Explanation: Resident states when traveling south on 29th street, there is a blind spot in front of 3105 and 3109 due to trees. When cars are parked in front of these homes, vehicles drive around and have decreased visibility of oncoming traffic, at times causing near accidents. Resident states that vehicles visiting the athletic center often park there. She also notes that vehicles travel too fast on this road. Resident is requesting there be no parking allowed here and that the rest of the street is not a concern.
6. Request for flashing stop signs at 34th Avenue and 53rd Street.
Explanation: Resident that lives on 52nd street, states that she has seen several vehicles “blow through this intersection”. With the road being re-opened post construction, she is concerned that it will occur more often. She also noted that, heading north, there is an issue with trees as well.
Matt Russell obtain crash report. Latter half of 2017-present there were a total of 16 crashes at/near the intersection of 53rd St/34th Ave. Out of the 16 crashes, two of them did not contain a diagram or narrative to easily distinguish how the crash occurred. In looking at the codes (numbers surrounding the outside portion of the report), both involved rear-end collisions where one vehicle was stopped at the stop sign and was rear-ended by the vehicle approaching behind it. One was for eastbound 34th Av, and one was for southbound 53rd St. Other crashes were due to vehicle malfunction, weather related, or driver to driver miscommunication.
Out of the 16 crashes, 6 of them were due to failure to stop at the intersection. Attachment: Yes
7. Request for “no parking corner to here” to be placed on west and east side of property exit.
Explanation: Resident complaints that vehicles parked, on both east and west side of exit, are blocking their line of sight. In addition to this resident complaint, Matt Russell states he has received complaints from two different people as well.
