Subjects Prospect Park - Draft Letter to P&Z
Memorandum Form:
Item : Prospect Park
There has been considerable discussion concerning the northbound left turn
:from Shields Street into the proposed Prospect Park P.U.D. Many of the
neighbors have expressed i s relating to the safety and complexity of the
turning movement and havegeeted that the northbound access be denied.
.Supplementary traffic analysis indicates that the movement is safe and that by
allowing the movement, the level of service at the intersection of Prospect
and Shields is improved. It should be noted that the City has the authority
to modify access if safety issues involving the access point arise.
Staff is proposing to monitor the left turn movement for any problems that may
occur with the northbound left turn at Shields Street into the development.
If safety issues arise as a result of the access, the City will eliminate the
left turn movement. it is also proposed that the developer escrow funds for
two years to cover the costs if closing of the median is deemed warranted
during this time period.
Sincerely,
Mike Herzig, Eric Bracke
