RE: Eliminate Yield Sign - Replace With Stop Sign
BACKGROUND
This ordinance will eliminate the yield sign and replace it with a stop sign on Evans Street.
Evans Street will then stop instead of yield for traffic on Nevada Avenue.
ANALYSIS
This intersection did not meet the MUTCD warrants for a stop sign however; there was strong
support for it from a resident in this area. The resident spoke of many near misses at this
intersection in addition to a few crashes. The Traffic Review Advisory Board recommends
approval. (5-1)
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of this ordinance is the cost of removing the yield sign and then installing a
stop sign. The cost would come out of the Sign Department operational budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Section 27A-8 of the Municipal Code pertains to Through Streets designated. I recommend
that the Common Council approve this ordinance.
Respectfully Submitted,
Jim Collins
Transportation Director
