rei -\j ( )j ~l~ ITEM 4.2. TO: MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL FROM: PHIL HALS, STREET/PARK SUPT. DATE: SEPTEMBER 28, 1993 SUBJECT: TRAFFIC CONTROL ISSUES I would request that the City Council address the following traffic control issues: 1. MAIN STREET AND GATES AVENUE Change the paint striping to allow eastbound Main Street two lanes of traffic; one being straight ahead or right turn. This minor change should improve the traffic flow for eastbound traffic. 2. MAIN STREET AND EVANS AVENUE Post "No Parking" signs on the south side of Main Street, within 50 feet of Evans Avenue to allow cross traffic on northbound Evans Avenue better visibility of Main Street traffic. e 3. 4TH STREET AND NORFOLK AVENUE The Police Department, Street Department, and City Engineer agree that a 4-way stop at this intersection is not warranted. If the Council wishes to change Norfolk from a yield to a stop street, staff would support that change. 4. GATES AVENUE AND 3RD STREET Citizens have requested pedestrian crossing signs for the painted crosswalk that crosses Gates Avenue. The Police Department and Street Department support this proposal and I would request that the City Council authorize the installation. 5. 175TH EASTBOUND AT FILLMORE The Police Department and Street Department request that the City Council authorize changing the yield sign to a stop sign. 6. SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL PARKING LOT AND JACKSON AVENUE e The Senior High Administration has requested stop signs for both exits and has offered to purchase and erect the signs if the City Council authorizes them. The Police Department and Street Department support this proposal. P.O. Box 490 · 13065 Orono Parkway · Elk River, MN 55330 · (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425
