Date: May 9, 2003. To: Members of the Traffic Commission From: Mariela Tapia, Secretary of the Traffic Commission. Re: May Traffic Commission Meeting The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Traffic Commission is Wednesday, May 14, 2003 at CONFERENCE ROOM (Room 6) at the Second Floor of the City Hall 6:30 p.m. in the building . AGENDA FOR THE MEETING 1. Intersection Alanson and Golf Course Drive We received several requests for this intersection. Attached are Traffic Request Forms submitted by Louise M. Nicholson dated April 1, 2003, Juanita Keys dated April 8, 2003, and Diane Emery dated April 12, 2003. Mrs. Nicholson is requesting a 4 way stop signs. Ms. Keys is requesting to stop the traffic on Alanson (between Old Bonhomme and Old Bonhomme) and to replace the yield signs on Golf Course Dr. with stop signs. Ms. Emery is requesting stop signs to slow traffic on Alanson or 4 yield signs. At this intersection, exists yield signs on Golf Course Dr at Alanson Dr. The speed limit for the area is 25 mph. See sketch attached. Three of them stated the following: 1.There were a large number of accidents at that intersection because people don’t pay attention to the yield signs on Golf Course and there is no sign for Alanson and therefore, people speed thru. 2. The speed of traffic at this intersection must be slowed down and drivers must pay attention to crossing traffic. 3.The traffic on Alanson often is speeding; the yield signs on Golf Course are often ignored. The Golf Course corner are semi-blind. On the last three years, have been 4 accidents on that intersection. There were due to drivers failing to obey the yield signs. Is the recommendation of the Engineering Division to deny the requests and recommend leaving the existing signs with no changes. 1 V:\WP51\Mariela-Projects\Traffic Commission\agenda\2003\Agenda 05-14-03.doc
