title

Consideration of Ordinance 2018-38, “An Ordinance to Establish All-Way Stop Control at the Intersection of 3^rd Avenue North and 4^th Avenue North” (Deferred from the 9/27/2018 CIC; 10/25/18 CIC 3-0; deferred from 11-13-18 WS,  11-27-18 WS, 12-11-18 WS; 01/08/19 WS; 1/22/19 BOMA 1^st Reading 8-0).

body

Purpose

The purpose of this memo is to provide information to the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) concerning Ordinance 2018-38.

Background

The intersection of 3^rd Ave. North and 4^th Ave. North is currently configured with stop control on the 4^th Ave. North approach only.  The sight distance from 4^th Ave. North onto 3^rd Ave. North does not meet the minimum requirements as published in both the City of Franklin Transportation & Street Technical Standards and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ A Policy on Geometric Design of highway and Streets (Green Book).  The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways (MUTCD) allows the application of all-way stop control at intersections with limited sight distance that create a safety concern.  In the past five (5) years, there have been three (3) crashes at this location.  Two (2) of the crashes can be attributed to a lack of sight distance and one (1)driver confusion associated with the overall intersection.    

Financial Impact

The estimated cost associated with adding two (3) stop signs and stop bars is under $2,500.  This cost will be paid out of the annual Street Departments approved budget.

Recommendation

rec

Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 2018-38.
