Authorize Two -Way Stop at Claret Avenue and 155th Street
I have received some complaints about there not being any traffic control at this
intersection. Traffic attempting to access onto 155th Street off of Claret does
not stop or yield to traffic at 155th Street. With the connection of 155th
Street to Shannon Parkway and the further development of the O'Leary's Additions,
this problem will become much worse. As yet I am unaware of any accidents at
this intersection.
I have discussed this with Police Chief Staats and we both conclude that
installing stop signs on Claret Avenue would be the appropriate traffic control.
These ,stop signs would be warranted at Claret because of a minor street (Claret)
intersecting with a major street (155th Street)
Recommended action for Council to take regarding this issue would be to adopted
the attached resolution authorizing the installation of stop signs on Claret
Avenue at the intersection of 155th Street and to authorize the Public Works
Department to install those signs.
