Re: Temporary All-way Stop for the Intersection of 95th Street & Jamaica Avenue
Background/ Discussion
This summer the City is reconstructing Hadley Avenue between 90th Street and 95th
Street, 95th Street from Mississippi Dunes Boulevard and Hadley Avenue, and installing
a roundabout at the intersection of Hadley Avenue and 95th Street. The detour route for
this project will direct traffic through the intersection of 95th Street and Jamaica Avenue,
resulting in increased traffic through the intersection. Due to the additional traffic there is
a concern for an increase in backups for vehicles on 95th Street turning onto Jamaica
Avenue.
One of the primary issues related to traffic backups on 95th Street is semi-trucks that
have a difficulty taking a left and going north on 95th Street. To accommodate this
increase in traffic and help mitigate the concerns related to 95th Street, a temporary all-
way stop is proposed at the intersection of 95th Street and Jamaica Avenue while the
detour route is in place. This would involve the installation of two stop signs in each
direction of traffic on Jamaica Avenue, along with advanced notification of the new stop
signs. Advanced notification of the traffic control change would also be placed in each
direction on 95th Street to make drivers aware of the situation. The layout of the
proposed configuration is shown on the following page.
Recommendation
It is recommended the City Council approve the placement of a temporary all-way stop
at the intersection 95th Street and Jamaica Avenue.
