CASE # <br /> <br />REVIEW PLACEMENT OF CHEVRONS AT THE CORNER OF <br />169TM AVENUE AND NEON STREET <br /> By: SteYen J. Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Last fall the City approved the posting of a ser/es of chevron warning markers at the <br />corner of 169th Avenue and Neon Street. This posting was the result of a request by the <br />resident at this corner (5866 169th Avenue) to remedy the problem of having vehicles <br />slide off the roadway and into his yard. Subsequent to the placement of these chevrons <br />there was a complaint regarding the aesthetics of these warning devices by Mr. Scott <br />Baumgartner who resides at 5850 169th Avenue (immediately east of the corner <br />property). <br /> <br />The Public Works Committee recommended at their November 16, 2004 meeting that a <br />review of the situation be made at the May 2005 Public Works Committee meeting. <br />Notice that this agenda issue is being considered has been sent to both of the property <br />owners identified above. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Since the posting of the chevrons the Police department has not received notice of <br />accidents at this location. A speed study performed subsequent to the placement of the <br />chevrons showed a slight decrease of 3 rniles per hour in the average maximum speed. <br />The chevrons are a proper warning device and comply with the recommendations for <br />their use as outlined in the Manual On Uniform Traffic Control Devices In Minnesota. <br />Staff therefore recommends that no further action be taken. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />None ?equired <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br />Public Works Director/Fire Chief <br />Assistant Public Works Director/Principal Engineer <br />Public Works Street Supervisor <br />Police Chief <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />PW: 06/21/05 <br /> <br />-363-1 <br /> <br /> <br />
