Overview: Enacting the ordinance will allow staff to install stops signs creating an all-way stop at the intersection of Henderson Street and North Street. This recommendation is in response to a petition on behalf of Cobb Terrace residents.
Recommendation(s):
That the Council enact the attached ordinance, which would amend and allow an all-way stop at the intersection of Henderson Street and North Street.
Key Issues:
* The Town maintains Henderson Street and North Street.
* Previously it was a two-way stop on Henderson Street and North Street.
* The travel lanes are narrow along both streets and there are limited pedestrian sidewalks along North Street.
* Town staff reviewed the concern and are amenable to the ordinance changes.
Fiscal Impact/Resources:
The staff estimate a $500 cost for installing an additional two signs, including staff time. The Traffic Engineering Division operating budget could absorb this cost. Enforcement of the ordinance will have a minimal impact on the Police Department.
