Boos, City Manager rom: Stan Case ubjec.t: Laurel -Washington Stop Signs The Laurel -Washington intersection has been a 4-w2y stop for over a year due to eavy cross traffic and cars entering CSU at that point. CSU has how closed the Washington treat entrance to t he campus by construction of a new dormitory. There has been consider- ble pressure on the City to eliminate the stop signs on Laurel at t his intersection since t is no longer needed for the purpose originally intended. Traffic counts conducted by the City Engineer's Office, copies attached herewith, do not show sufficient volume to warrant stop signs on Laurel. Across Laurel at the west side of the intersection is a designated pedestrian cross walk. A total of fourteen school children are using this crosswalk, two students in Lincoln Junior High and twelve in Dunn Elementary. The heavy traffic volume at the Washington -Laurel intersection occurs prior to 8:00 a.M. Children are not permitted on the sd.hool grounds at Dunn until 8:30 a.m., sdiool taking up at 8:45 a.m. The majority if the school children are crossing at about 8:30 a.m. I met with the Parent Teachers Organization at Dunn School at 1:30 P.M., December 9 to discuss the problems at t his intersection. The committees present agreed that t he stop signs on Laurel would probably have to be removed and appreciated our working with themi prior to any action by City Council. The following suggestions and recommendations were made by the Dunn PTO Executive Committee,: 1. That the City notify the Dunn PTO at least one week prior to removing the stop signs at this intersection in order that they can prepare a "flyer" to be sent home by students to parents. 2. That the Dunn PTO prepare a general safety bulletin for distribution to all parents to assist in the education of their children in necessary precautions of street crossings, etc. 3. That the Fort Collins Police patrol more closely the reported speeding on West Laurel and also ticket those cars that continue to park in the yellow zone at the subject intersection. 4. That the Street Department, during ice and snow, place all school crosswalks on the salting and sanding schedule in addition to the stop sign locations that they are now covering. (The Dunn PTO points out that the marked pedes- trian and school crosswalks a re new in Fort Collinsand that salting or sanding will be necessary at all these locations in order that a vehicle will have the ability to stop under adverse weather conditions if the cross- walk is occupied by pedestrians.) 5. That all crosswalks should be reviewed from a lighting standpoint -- many of these aprear to be very poorly lit during the darkness hours. The Dunn PTO expressed their appreciation for being brought into the problem )efore final action was taken. They also expressed thanks to the City for its participation in t he School Traffic Study and the implementation of the recommendations. It is my recommendation that the two stop signs on Laurel atthe Washington .ntersection be removed, giving full cognizance to the suggestions and recommendations of the )unn PTO Executive Committee - /,a/ Stanley R. Case Acting City Engineer I have reviewed t he studies, findings, and actions of this office prior to my ssignment and concur in the above recommendations. /s/ C. Adam Fischer Director of Public Works After discussion, motion was made by Councilwoman Quinn, seconded by Councilman that the stop signs at Laurel and 4ashington be removed for trial period to coincide December 17. 1 with the other traffic questions which are on a trial basis at the present time and that the suggestions of the Dunn PTO be accepted and taken under investigation. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Colwell, McMillan, Guyer and Council- woman Quinn. Nayes: None. The President declared the motion adopted.
