D. Stop Sign and Crosswalk Guidelines
Staff provided the Committee with a briefing on how stop signs, crosswalks, speed humps, and
speed limit changes get approved for installation. Residents often make requests for traffic
calming devices, but the City must follow the 2oog Edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic
Transportation Committee Minutes ...................................................................................... .....................November7, 2o16
Control Devices (MUTCD) in concert with engineering judgment by the jurisdictional staff. This
Manual outlines specific criteria that must be met before installation or implementation of
changes. Staff intends to provide user - friendly educational materials online to aid the
community in understanding the process. Chair Robertson requested a copy of the data that has
been collected from the mobile speed sign units that have been in recent use in the City. He also
asked if the City could pilot a test area for a speed table for school crosswalks. Staff will report
back with an option in 1St quarter 2017. COMMITTEE DISCUSSION.
E. Multi -Way Stop Signs and Marked Crosswalk Review
Staff provided an update on the City Council request to review the potential for multi -way stop
signs or marked crosswalks at the intersections of South 135th Street and 34 th Avenue South,
South 137th Street and 34 th Avenue South, and South �4.9th Street and 62nd Avenue South. The
three intersections were evaluated for criteria outlined in the MUTCD referenced in the last item.
Staff recommends the installation of a marked crosswalk with supporting school crossing
signage for the east -west movement of South 137th Street and 34 th Avenue South, in addition to
removal of low vegetation for sight distance. The other two intersections reviewed have school
crossing routes marked and do not currently warrant additional stop signs per the criteria. The
Committee discussed that while stop signs are not warranted, there are measures the City can
take to enhance safety, such as place the mobile speed unit at those locations and coordinate
with the police department for emphasis patrols. They requested that the memo be updated to
reflect those items. Chair Robertson will report out to the full Council and provide the updated
memo. COMMITTEE DISCUSSION.
