CITY OF SHAKOPEE
Memorandum
TO: Mayor & City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Approval of Traffic Control Signs in Countryside Subdivision
DATE: September 21, 2010
INTRODUCTION:
cordsE~r
From traffic studies that were done this summer in the Countryside development, it is being
recommended to install stop signs on Arabian Avenue at the intersection of Shire Street and
Arabian Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
Staff has received requests from residents in the Countryside Subdivision about additional stop
sign control. In review of the area, staff studied the following intersections due to their location
adjacent to 17th Avenue or Fuller Street:
• Shire Street & Arabian Avenue
• Noric Street & Appaloosa Avenue
• Caspian Lane & Gotland Avenue
• Danube Avenue & Lusitano Street
Out of these four intersections, the traffic volumes were the highest at the Shire Street and
Arabian Avenue intersection. This intersection is the main intersection access from the high
school and is only one lot deep from the 17th Avenue with Shire Street. Establishing the right-of-
way control on Arabian Avenue is necessary due to volume and the close spacing of the
intersection to 17th Avenue.
These studies were reviewed by the Traffic Safety Review Committee on September 2, 2010 and
was recommended to install stop signs on Arabian Avenue. The other intersections did not have
sufficient traffic to warrant any further traffic control signage.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve a motion to install stop signs on Arabian Avenue at the intersection of Arabian
Avenue and Shire Street.
2. Do not approve additional stop signs on Arabian Avenue at Shire Street intersection.
3. Table for additional information.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a motion to install stop signs on Arabian Avenue at the intersection of Arabian Avenue
and Shire Street.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve a motion to install stop signs on Arabian Avenue at the intersection of Arabian Avenue
and Shire Street.
