Backl!:round: The Traffic Engineering Section received a request to install a 3-way stop at the intersection of Cambridge Avenue and Universal Avenue. The request was received through a petition from the Kendall Hills Neighborhood Association. The association feels that installation of a 3-way stop at this intersection would enhance traffic safety at this intersection. The Traffic Engineering division of Development Services has evaluated the intersection of Varsity Avenue and Grand Avenue for a 3-way stop utilizing the Administrative Policy for Stop Sign Installation. The intersection is "T" type and both streets are classified as local residential. The following are the results of the evaluation: This intersection meets Warrant "B" ofthe Administrative Policy. This warrant is satisfied when sixty (60) percent of the residents located within six-hundred (600) feet of the proposed Stop sign, sign a petition agreeing to its installation, and two other criteria are met. In this case, criteria B-9 and B-1 0 are met (see-attached warrants). The Traffic Safety Committee reviewed this request on June 13, 2001. Since the intersection of Cambridge Avenue at Universal Avenue meets warrants for a 3-way stop, the Committee recommended that it be installed at this location. Financial Impact: The estimated cost of $ 700.00 for installing the new stop signs will come from Account No. 001-187-5111 (Signing and Striping Materials). Recommendation: Adopt Resolution.
