LID 16 C -15 C -17 LID 13 C -44 TRAFFIC CONTROL INTERURBAN AVENUE SOUTH /6 Mr. Don Hoffman, Traffic Director from District No. 7, State Highway Department spoke regarding crosswalks on Interurban Avenue South. He reported it appears to be feasible to install single crosswalks on Interurban Avenue at 58th Avenue South and 52nd Avenue South. He felt it would serve no purpose to install further crosswalks on Interurban, as it would be safer to con6entrate the crossing at two locations and incourage the pedestrians to cross at specific locations. He felt the crosswalks could be installed within the next two weeks. Questions were asked by Council members relating to safety factors. Mr. Hoffman reported two sets of signs would be installed at each crosswalk but he felt an overhead lighted sign was not warranted. He could see no problem with the sight distance or the speed limit on Interurban. Mr. Gardner brought up the matter of the installation of a traffic control signal in conjunction with the 58th Avenue Improvement. Mr. Hoffman reported he had not had the opportunity to sufficiently study the need for this signal but from his preliminary study of traffic conditions, he felt the installation of a traffic signal would not be warranted. After further discussion, Mr. Fujiki requested a meeting with Mr. Hoffman to further study this problem. The chanelization of traffic on Interurban North of Interstate 5 crossing was discussed. Mr. Zepp had pointed out the problem to Mr. Hoffman and given him copies of the cor- respondence from the businesses invloved. Further study will be made into this matter. June 15, 1970 (cont.)
