Committee votes to rotate stop signs at Chapman Drive and Green Valley Drive
Summary
Following an engineer ssessment, the committee voted to rotate stop signs so Green Valley would stop and Chapman would remain the through movement; staff will add flags to alert drivers.
The Building & Grounds Committee approved rotating the stop-control signs at Chapman Drive and Green Valley Drive so that Green Valley traffic would stop and Chapman traffic would continue through. Greg introduced the item as a referral from Alderman Eric Payne and turned the discussion to Alex Cowan, a traffic engineer with Ayers Associates, who described the safety review and traffic counts.
Cowan said the intersection did not meet the typical warrants for an all-way stop and that Chapman carries substantially more traffic. "The recommendation, from our perspective is, to not move to an always stop control, but to actually rotate the signs 90 degrees so that Green Valley are the vehicles that stop and Chapman is allowed to continue through," he said. Committee members supported the rotation and agreed to add flags to alert drivers to the change. A motion to rotate the signs and deploy flags passed by voice vote.
