Signalization of 142''a Avenue N. W.: <br /> <br />Staff took traffic counts at the intersection of 142nd Avenue N.W. and Trunk Highway <br />#47 on Wednesday, April 25 and Thursday, April 26, 2001. Data was transmitted to SRF <br />for review. Preliminary review by SRF's traffic analyst suggest the intersection to be <br />close to meeting warranties. SRF was directed to do hourly counts (City doesn't have the <br />equipment to do hourly counts) and anticipated results back on before the public works <br />meeting. <br /> <br />The understanding with MnDot is that the intersection would be signalized when and if <br />warrants were met. If traffic warrants for signalization were met, a project change order <br />to install signals would be the next step. If warrants are not met staff should be directed <br />to design islands prohibiting left tutus onto Trunk Highway #47 at 142nd Lane N.W. This <br />has been the previous direction of Council. A change order would be required to install <br />this island under this contract. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />No action required until results of signalization study are completed. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />Director of Public Works <br /> <br />PW: 05/15/01 <br /> <br /> <br />
