SHAKOriEE
TO: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director
DATE: 11/19/2013
SUBJECT: Approve Stop Signs for Patterson Drive and Evergreen Lane; and Brittany Drive and
Downing Avenue (E)
Action Sought
Approve a motion directing staff to install stop signs on Patterson Drive with the intersection of
Evergreen Lane; and on Brittany Drive/Brittany Court with the intersection of Downing Avenue.
Background
At the November 4, 2013 Traffic Safety Review Committee, the committee reviewed two traffic
situations to consider installing two way stop signs. The traffic review was at the intersections of
Patterson Drive and Evergreen Lane, and Brittany Drive and Downing Avenue. The committee
members reviewed these intersections and concluded in both cases that stop signs should be
installed on Patterson Drive and on Brittany Drive/Brittany Court to establish the right of way at
those intersections.
In both cases, traffic does not stop on Evergreen Lane or Downing Avenue as motorists believe
these streets are "through" streets. Also, there is a sight distance problem at Brittany and
Downing and a sidewalk crossing on Evergreen Lane at Patterson Drive.
Recommendation
Approve a motion directing staff to install stop signs on Patterson Drive with the intersection of
Evergreen Lane and on Brittany Drive/Brittany Court with the intersection of Downing Avenue.
Budget Impact
Cost of installing stop signs is approximately $300 and can be handled within the street
maintenance budget.
Relationship to Vision
This supports Goal E: Deliver effective and efficient public services by a staff of well-trained,
caring and professional employees.
Requested Action
Approve a motion directing staff to install stop signs on Patterson Drive with the intersection of
Evergreen Lane; and on Brittany Drive/Brittany Court with the intersection of Downing Avenue.
