State Aid approvals, STOP signs were required on both Bunker Lake Boulevard and Puma Street. Development timing and the resultant traffic growth were unknown at the time plans were developed, and traffic forecasts were aggressive. Growth in the area will dictate when an all -way STOP control is warranted. In summary, traffic control is designed before construction is complete and is therefore theoretical in nature, based on anticipated conditions. If changes are made to traffic control after construction, the changes must account for actual conditions, which requires further study. Bolton & Menk prepared the attached memo, which describes all this in more detail. The memo also recommends completing an updated traffic study to determine appropriate short and long-term traffic control options. Bolton & Menk can complete this study in January at a cost not -to -exceed $3,000. Funding Source: The cost to remove a STOP sign is approximately $200 per sign. The cost for City Staff to fabricate and install a new sign is approximately $300 per sign. Staff proposes to pay for all costs to study and/or modify the traffic control at this intersection as part of City Improvement Project # 18-05. Recommendation: Staff recommends completing the traffic study proposed by Bolton & Menk in January of 2019, and to present the findings to the Public Works Committee in February of 2019 for further discussion and direction. Action: Based on Committee direction. Actions will be communicated to the property owner at 14942 Quintana Street NW.
