Re: Resolution -Replace YIELD sign with STOP sign on Louis Lane at Southview
Drive intersection.
Council is request to adopt the enclosed resolution ordering the replacement of the
existing YIELD sign on Louis Lane at its intersection with Southview Drive with a STOP
sign. After a single car accident at the intersection this winter, residents petitioned for the
installation of an all-way STOP at the intersection. City Engineer Nick Egger conducted
a thorough review of the intersection, including collection of traffic counts, traffic speed
data and the accident history at the intersection.
Nick's analysis of this information resulted in a determination that warrants for an
ail-way STOP were not met. However, his review also determined that the sight lines at
the intersection did not meet YIELD sign requirements. Accordingly, staff is
recommending that Council order the replacement of the existing YIELD sign with a
STOP sign. Last month, area residents were mailed a letter detailing the results of the
Engineering study of the Louis Lane and Southview Drive intersection.
