The location of this <br />intersection is illustrated on the attached figure. A copy of the attached petition cites two reasons <br />. for the sign. This intersection is one lot north of a trail entrance into Solstice Park which <br />increases pedestrian traffic, particularly that of children. The petition cites left turning vehicles <br />from 146th Avenue onto Fluorine Street often do not slow sufficiently. It should be noted that the <br />intersection angle of these two streets is greater than 90 degrees which could facilitate a faster <br />turning speed. The second reason cited in the petition is to deter northbound traffic from using <br />146th Avenue and Fluorine Street in favor of Sunwood Drive for eastbound traffic. <br />Staff has reviewed the intersection and offers the fQJlowing information as background in <br />considering this request. <br /> <br />.
