MEMORANDUM
September 25, 2000
TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM:
JJ/;4J{J
Michael A. Koch, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Alta Place at Decorah/Delaware Streets
INTRODUCTION
The following is in response to requests for the installation of stop signs at the
intersections of Alta Place and Decorah Street and Alta Place and Delaware Street.
DISCUSSION
The callers were concerned about the lack of any traffic control at these two
intersections. The speed of traffic on Delaware and Decorah Streets was also
mentioned as a concern. Both streets have recently been paved, and the residents feel
that traffic speeds have increased. Speed studies have been performed and indicated
that traffic is traveling within the speed limit. However, sight distances are inadequate
for more than one approach at each intersection based on the prevailing speeds
measured.
Records indicate that two accidents have occurred at each of the intersections within
the last four years. Because of the relatively low volume of traffic, the accident rate
per million entering vehicles is above 3.0 for each intersection. This is considered to
be a fairly high accident rate.
In August of 1999 the City Council passed an ordinance providing for stop signs at all
streets intersecting with Auburn and Atlantic Streets. Streets intersecting with Algona
also have stop signs posted. The intersections of Alta Place and Decorah and Alta
Place and Delaware are the only two four-way intersections between Grandview and
Avoca and Loras and Grandview that do not have some form of traffic control.
Attached is an ordinance which would provide for the installation of stop signs on Alta
Place at Decorah Street, and on Alta Place at Delaware Street.
.
.
.
RECOMMENDATION
I would recommend approval of the requests for the installation of stop signs at the
intersections of Alta Place and Decorah Street, and Alta Place and Delaware Street.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The City Council is requested to adopt the attached ordinance providing for the
installation of stop signs on Alta Place at Decorah Street, and on Alta Place and
Delaware Street.
