RE:
Item Defeated by the Traffic Review Board at their September 14,2004 Meeting
1)
A CITIZEN REQUEST FOR A YIELD SIGN ON WISCONSIN STREET AT ITS INTERSECTION
WITH PACKER AVENUE. [CURRENT CONDITION: NO PARKING].
This is a request from a citizen.
The warrants for a yield sign are shown below:
1) Three or more right angle accidents in a twelve month period.
2) 1,500 or more vehicles per day.
3) Inadequate sight distance.
The accident history for this intersection is shown below:
Intersection

The accident history doesn't support the installation of a yield sign.
The total amount of traffic entering this intersection is 907 vehicles per day. This level of traffic is
well below the 1,500 vehicles per day required for a yield sign.
This is aT-type intersection and the sight distance is very good.
DEFEATED BY TRAFFIC REVIEW BOARD (1-6)
2)
A CITIZEN REQUEST FOR NO PARKING ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF MYRNA JANE DRIVE
FROM FOND DU LAC ROAD TO ITS WESTERN TERMINUS. [CURRENT CONDITION:
UNRESTRICTED PARKING].
This is a request from a citizen.
A citizen has reported several cases of vehicles parking directly across from each other making it
difficult to use Myrna Jane Drive. The width of Myrna Jane Drive is only 20 feet. The local street
parking warrants suggest streets with widths between 17 and 26 feet should have parking restricted
on one side. However, if 50% of the residents are opposed to parking restrictions, that fact can
override the warrant. The citizen making the no parking request suggested a parking ban on the
south side of Myrna Jane Drive since the fire hydrants are located on that side of the street.
DEFEATED BY TRAFFIC REVIEW BOARD (1-6)
