Boos, City Manager City of Fort Collins, Colorado 149 September 19_, 1963 Dear Sir: Traffic counts have been taken at the intersection of Grestmore and Bryan, during the past week. The counts indicate Bryan Avenue caries 900 vehicles per day,,,East of Bryan and 2,000 vehicles per day West of Bryan. This compares with a count of 3,000 on Prospect and 2,000 on Shields, at their intersection, and 6,000 on Shields and 4,500 on Mulberry, at their intersection. I have checked with the Police Department on their accident rate at the inter- �section of'Bryan and Crestmore. There has been one accident at the intersection during 1963, which was a rear end collision. Stop signs could not be justified at this location on the basis of traffic counts or accident rate. The only justification for installing stop signs requiring Crestmore to stop at Bryan, would be speed control of Crestmore and the probability that Bryan will con- tinue South in a few years and will then become a feeder street. Yours very truly, /s/ G. J. Gneiss, City Engineer. After considerable discussion, motion was made by Councilman Honstein, seconded by Councilwoman Quinn, that the traffic Engineer be instructed to place stop signs on Crest - more at South Bryan Avenue for a 90 day period.
