8A <br /> Page 2 <br /> Approximateiy 875 vehicles per day are currently controlled by the stop signs on Vera <br /> Avenue. Installation of additional stop signs to create a multiway stop would cause an <br /> additional 9,000 vehicles per day to stop and acceierate through the intersection on <br /> Hudson despite the relatively !ow volume of cross traffic. <br /> If Council approves the stop signs, staff must still arrange far construction of the <br /> required signs and markings. lnstallation of the "STOP" (egend and limit line pavement <br /> markings must occur simultaneously with the actual stop signs to ensure public safety at <br /> a new stop-contro[ied location. Because the pavement must be tnoroughly dry to allow <br /> a durable installation of these markings, wet weather can delay the work. Staff <br /> anticipates this stop sign installatian may not be completed until the end of April, but will <br /> work toward implementation as weather and workload permit. <br /> Staff recommends that stop signs be insta(led to address traffic safety. <br /> Alternatives <br /> 1. In lieu of propased stop signs, place intersection warning signs with "Cross Traffic <br /> Does Not Stop" supplementary plates or other similar warning signs on existing stop <br /> signs on Vera Avenue approaches at the intersection wifih Hudson Street and e�end <br /> red curb at the corners to imprave visibi(ity. <br /> 2. The intersection would remain in its present control configuration wifih stops on the <br /> eastbound and westbound approaches of Vera Avenue anci no controls on Hudson <br /> Street. <br /> Fiscat Impact <br /> Stop signs or warning signage and refated pavement markings can be installed for an <br /> estimated cost of $2,000. Funds are available in the 2005-2006 Capital Improvement <br /> Program budget in the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program. Minor maintenance <br /> costs will be incurred in future years. <br /> _._��L�l <br /> ,? <br /> M.
