Phil has received several complaints regarding the difficulty of entering onto <br />198th Avenue from Brentwood Lane. Currently the intersection has a stop condition at <br />Brentwood Lane and no stop condition on 198th Avenue. The difficulty comes from the <br />curvature of the road and the limited sight distance. Phil has had his crew out in the area <br />clearing brush to try and improve. Phil requested that I take a look at the intersection and <br />comment on whether I think any additional actions are necessary. <br /> <br />On my sight visit to the intersection I perceived that the clearing of the brush has helped the <br />situation but the curvature of 198th Avenue, east of Brentwood Lane makes it almost impossible <br />to judge whether or not it is safe to enter onto 198th Avenue from Brentwood Lane. I would <br />suggest that this may be a situation where a four way stop sign could be used. I do believe that <br />it would provide for a safer intersection. I would recommend that on 198th Avenue on the east <br />side of Brentwood Lane there should also be a stop sign ahead warning sign because of the <br />curvature of the road. <br /> <br />Please let me know if there is any additional information you would like from me regarding this <br />issue. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Howard R.
