This intersection has low volume combined vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian. Visibility is sufficient, and there are no accidents reported within the last 12-month period. Therefore multi-way stop signs are not warranted at this intersection. The Public Works and Parks Department recommends denying the request, and instead, retrofitting the stop signs on Benlou Ave, with new retro reflective signs in the appropriate size and height per MUTCD, and adding two (2) warning signs on both north and south bound Benlou Ave that read “Cross traffic does not stop”. 5. Request to install Stop Signs at the intersection of Kempland Place and Fullerton Avenue Please find attached traffic request form submitted on June 25, 2012 by Arthur Sharpe Jr. resident at 7131 Willow Tree Lane, requesting that a “three-way” Stop signs be installed at NW, NE and SW corners of Kempland Place and Fullerton Ave. According to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices - MUTCD, the following factors are evaluated as part of the engineering study to warrant multi-way stop signs:  Vehicular, bicycle, pedestrian traffic volumes: Kempland carries a little over 2,000 vehicles per day between Fullerton and Woodson Ave.  Number of approaches: This is an angled three legged “T” intersection.  Approach Speeds: Speed Limit is 25 mph on both streets.  Sight distances available on each approach: Visibility at the intersection is sufficient for when the intersection is controlled by either yield or stop signs.  Reported crash experience: University City Police Department reported no accidents within the last 12- month period. Currently, there is a yield sign on Fullerton at Kempland to assign the right-of-way at this intersection. Due to the traffic volume on Kempland Place exceeding the 2,000 units per day and the geometry of this angled intersection, a stop sign is warranted on the Fullerton Ave westbound leg. The Public Works and Parks Department recommends the installation of a stop sign on Fullerton Avenue at Kempland Pl. 6. Residential Parking Permit Petition for the 200 block of Linden Avenue Please find attached Residential Parking Permit Petition submitted on June 29, 2012 by Jay Rowan, resident at 206 Linden Avenue, requesting that a residential parking petition be approved for the east side of the 200 block of Linden Ave, to allow parking for two (2) hours and restrict parking between the hours of 8 am and 2 pm, Monday through Friday except by residential permit. The east side of the 200 block of Linden Ave is located within the City of University City boundary and the properties located on west side are located in the City of Clayton. The City of Clayton has a Residential Parking Permit system in place on the west side of Linden Ave, allowing parking for 1 hour, and restricting parking from 8 am to 5 pm, Monday – Friday, except by permit, for Residential Zone 1. Per the current request, the current parking restriction listed in the Municipal Code for Linden Ave, would need to be eliminated from the Code. It reads as follows: Linden Avenue: On both sides of Linden Avenue between Pershing Avenue and Kingsbury Boulevard, between the hours of eight a.m. and two p.m. on every day of the week except Sunday. Signatures provided as part of the petition include 78% of the residents in agreement to the petition. From nine (9) property owners, two (2) did not sign the petition. The conditions for approval of a residential parking permit plan has been met due to the street being located within two blocks of the Clayton municipality's boundary and the problems caused by the inconsistency of the parking restrictions on both sides of the street. Additional problems occur when City of Clayton residents park in the University City side of the street due to the City of Clayton’s more restrictive parking restriction. www.ucitymo.org
