CASE <br /> <br />TRAFFIC CONTROL ON 171ST AVENUE <br /> By: Steven Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />At the March 28, 1995 Council meeting, a request for the closure of 171 st Avenue between Bison <br />Street and Zeolite Street was denied by the City Council. However, it was recommended that the <br />Road and Bridge Committee look at some type of traffic control along this segment of roadway. <br />This segment of roadway has a 1993 traffic count of 85 vehicles per day and is approximately 450 <br />feet long. Apparently, the primary problem along this segment is reported to be speeding. <br />Because of the low volume of traffic on the street and its relatively short length, this roadway <br />would be far less conducive to speeding than the majority of residential streets. Because of the <br />history of conflict associated with this neighborhood with regard to through traffic on 171st <br />Avenue and the paving of Bison Street, it is likely that the cause of the speeding is a manifestation <br />of the irritation surrounding this conflict. If this is indeed the cause of the speeding, an attempt to <br />place some type of speed or traffic control such as a stop sign or speed hump will likely not be <br />effective in addressing the cause of the problem. In fact, placement of such a device may actually <br />increase the irritation among individuals in the neighborhood. I would recommend, instead, that <br />once offending individuals are identified they be referred to a mediation service along with the <br />complainant. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />Based upon discussion. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: Copies also distributed to: <br />City Engineer City Administrator <br />RB:04/11/95 <br /> <br /> <br />
