I I I I I Case #3 Req!~est: PCtitioncr: Problem: Observations; Recommendation: Case g4 Request: Petitioner: Problem: Observation: Recommendation: Case #5 Request: Petitioner: Problem: Observation: Replace existing yield signs with stop signs at the intersection of Riverdale and Dolomite Streets. Mr. Gene R. Chancelor The request is to replace the existing yield signs with stop signs at this intersection. The existing yield signs on Dolomite do assign right-of-way to the traffic on Riverdale, which is a collector street. A 1995 traffic count on Riverdale was 320 vehicles per day, which is a relatively low count for a collector street. The existing yield signs are in good condition. Stop signs should replace the existing yield signs in the future when either traffic increases to more than 1,000 vehicles per day or the existing yield signs need replacement because of condition. However, at this time, the committee recommends no change. Place stop signs on the east and west legs of the intersection of 137th Avenue and Ebony. Mr. Gene R. Chancellor Mr. Chancellor feels the existing condition of the three-legged intersection of 137th Avenue and Ebony Street which is uncontrolled by any signage is unsafe. See Figure C. This is a three-legged intersection located in a residential district. Normal rules of the road would require Ebony to yield to the through traffic on 137th Avenue. Sight lines on all legs are relatively good, but there are several large spruce trees on the northeast comer of the intersection. Committee consensus is that additional signage is not necessary at the present time. Consider additional traffic control signage at 151st Avenue/Ute and Tonto intersection. Councilmember Zimmerman asked to have this intersection reviewed. This is currently an uncontrolled four-legged intersection. Normal application of right-of-way may be unduly hazardous. Although there is some vegetation on the southeast comer of the intersection, the sight lines are generally good. This is a four-legged intersection in a residential area. There are no traffic counts for this area, however, it would appear that all four legs of the intersection would have roughly equal volumes of traffic. There is no obvious major street.
