Rohloff, City Manager FROM: Jim Collins, Transportation Director DATE: August 15, 2014 RE: Items Defeated by the Traffic Review Board at their May 13, 2014 Meeting L A REQUEST FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF ELMWOODIMURDOCKIVINLAND. (CURRENT CONDITION: PARTIAL STOP CONTROL) This is a request from a citizen. The board requested I look at accident data year to date at this intersection. There were six accidents here year to date. Four of these accidents were related to cars turning left here. Three of the accidents involved cars turning left from westbound Murdock Avenue onto Elmwood Street, one of which was a DUI. Another crash occurred when a vehicle turning left from Murdock Avenue onto Vinland Street was hit by a car traveling south on Vinland Street. There was a rear -end accident, and one weather related collision. The accident data seems to support the road diet concept. The state has given their initial approval for the road diet concept. They would like to see the proposed layout in relation to the transition from Wisconsin Street to the Jackson Street roundabout. The Planning Department is helping put something together in CAD. I discussed this project with the City's Planning and Engineering Departments. We discussed the following: 1. We have decided that since this project allows for bike lanes we should take this project before the Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee to amend the Bike and Pedestrian Plan. 2. We will then review this plan with the Plan Commission and Traffic Advisory Board one more time since it has been almost two years since it was initially supported. 3. We will have public hearings and 1 or open house this Fall to present the plan. 4. The goal is to implement the road diet in 2015 We want to focus on completing the Sawyer Street bike lanes this year and make sure we get them right. The shared left turn lane is new for a city LED project. The Sawyer Street project will be a good test to see how the road diet concept works in Oshkosh. ITEMS DEFEATED 2 AUGUST 2014 Excerpt from the Traffic Review Advisory Board meeting minutes: Mr. Collins said he looked at the accident data and traffic counts for this intersection. He stated the data supports the road diet concept. He spoke with the state of Wisconsin and was told they would like to see the proposed layout in relation to the transition from Wisconsin Street to the Jackson Street roundabout. He discussed the project with the City's Planning and Engineering Departments and they recommended bringing this before the Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee and holding an open house this Fall for public input. He explained the goal is to implement the road diet in 2015. The focus this year is to complete the Sawyer Street bike lanes and evaluate how the road diet concept works in Oshkosh. DEFEATED BY TRAFFIC REVIEW BOARD (0 -4) It was moved, seconded and passed to have the City proceed with initial road diet concept plans for the intersections of Elmwood/MurdockNinland.
