City says traffic studies don't support new stop signs near Oldham; Purcell improvements ready to bid
Summary
A resident asked for stop signs around Oldham Village and Pleasant Lee Elementary; public works staff said crash history does not meet stop-warrant standards and described planned Purcell roadway improvements and school-district circulation work.
A speaker at public comment asked the council to install stop signs at intersections serving the Oldham Village area and near Pleasant Lee Elementary, warning of a potential traffic safety issue as nearby development proceeds. Public works staff responded that federal-engineering warrant criteria for 'all-way stop' control require a measurable crash history and traffic-study thresholds that are unlikely to be met at the cited locations.
City staff said traffic analyses from the East Village and Oldham Village projects remain available on the city website, described scheduled improvements to Purcell (plans approved and ready to bid this fall), and noted the school district is improving campus circulation that may alter local flows. Staff recommended routing the resident's concern to public works for a targeted follow-up and said they would share any correspondence with the council.
