<br />6.2C <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />>- The stop signs are not likely to cause measurable diversion of traffic to <br />neighboring local streets, because the volume on Lowell Street is relatively low, <br />and the street connections and stop-control pattern of the surrounding roadway <br />network do not seem conducive to such diversion. <br /> <br />If Council approves the stop signs, installation may not be immediate. Staff must still <br />arrange for construction of the required signs and markings. Installation of the "STOP" <br />legend and limit line pavement markings must occur simultaneously with the actual stop <br />signs to ensure public safety at a new stop-controlled location. Because the pavement <br />must be thoroughly dry to allow a durable installation of these markings, wet weather <br />can delay the work. Staff anticipates this stop sign installation may not be completed <br />until the end of December, but will work toward implementation as weather and <br />workload permit. <br /> <br />Alternative <br />Do not install the proposed stop signs. Place intersection warning signs with "cross <br />traffic does not stop" supplementary plates or other similar warning signs on all four of <br />the intersection approaches. <br /> <br />Fiscal Impact <br />The stop signs and related pavement markings can be installed for an estimated cost of <br />$2,000. Funds are available in the 2005-2006 Capital Improvement Program budget in <br />the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program. Minor maintenance costs will be incurred <br />in future years. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Peter Ingram~ <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />A Petition Cover Letter <br /> <br />~"'~"""""? <br />"''''- , .....,L. <br />" :>"''',:. /" ""-,'-;">,' f;'/ <br />'>'... .... <br />u . <br />Chu Chang, P.
