Council hears school-area stop-sign request; staff says traffic study will cost about $7,800
Summary
The school police asked for a stop sign at Lincoln Street near the elementary and a high-school back entrance; staff said the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices requires a traffic study and estimated that study would cost $7,800, or the council could fund signal upgrades instead.
School police asked the council to add a stop sign at Lincoln Street near the elementary school and at a high-school back entrance. Staff said the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices requires a generic traffic study that documents legal and technical basis for the change and provided an estimated cost of $7,800 for such a study.
Staff also noted an existing button-activated crossing signal at the intersection that could be upgraded. Councilors discussed who would pay for the study and whether crossing alerts or signal upgrades could be an interim solution while the study is completed.
"The estimated cost for a study is $7,800," staff said. Council members asked staff to return with options for a study or interim crossing measures.
