SIGN REQUEST - i'e: OP598-096
Officer Mc6uire has completed her assessment of the stop siqn request at
77th & Irvin. It is her findings that trafific volume does not appear to
be excessive, nor does speed appear to be a factor. It is her opinion
that this intersectio� does not warrant the postirtg of a stop sign. It
G � is noted that with the curve in the street at that location it may give
�v the appearance that vehicles are travetling at a higher speed. Her fur-
ther assessments were that traffic did aporoach and slow as needed when
P� turning at this intersection.
Additionally Offic=r Mc6uire condvcted a similar study at 75th & Irvirt, and
finds that a stop sign would be tieneficial at th�s location. The citizen
had requested a 3-way sign, the suggestion is 'or a revTew of this area
for appropriate signage. Issues noted are resid�ntial area with numerous
children on bikes/walking, busy intersection for vehicles.
Both of these st�d�es are compieted and forwarded to you for your referertce
and referral to the Pubtic Safety Cortanission.
