volved in the'decision process from the start. <br /> There is some inconvenience to these resi- <br /> dents since they are restricted to access only <br /> from the open end. A negative reaction can <br /> be expected from the traveling public until <br /> they understand the nature of problems as- <br /> sociated with through.traffic in a neighbor- <br /> hood. <br /> <br /> Capacity on the main routes should be avail- <br /> able for the relocated traffic. <br /> <br /> Additional Considerations <br /> <br />The reduced access to the closed street should <br />be reviewed prior to the actual closing, espe- <br />cially for emergency services such as police, <br />fire and ambulance; A proper turn around <br />area is needed at dead-end for vehicle turn <br />around and snow storage. Cost can vary from <br />$5,000 to $10,000 depending upon size of the <br />cul-de-sac and drainage facilities. <br /> <br /> Case Studies <br /> <br /> 2nd Street S.E. (16th Ave. to 19th Ave.) <br /> <br />This is a residential street in S.E. Rochester. <br />The east end of the street was the 5th leg in an <br />unusual intersection. During preliminary <br />studies on the intersection for a possible traf- <br />fic signal, the undesired 5th leg was recom- <br /> <br />I~ICAI. <br /> ~ACIIdTY <br /> <br />mended for a street closure. The issue was <br />pursued by using a sur~ey of abutting resi-' <br />dents. A strong majority were immediately in <br />favor. <br /> <br />The street was dosed following a public hear- <br />ing and approved by the Common' Council. <br />Since the closure, only one objection from the <br />public has been received. The closure <br />reduced the traffic volume on 2nd Street S.E. <br />from 1200 ADT down to less than 100. <br /> <br /> Other Locations: <br /> <br /> This technique has been used in Rochester <br />for many years.
