Ms. Anne Campbell, resident of 1129 Mary Lane, has requested a Stop sign and
red curb "No Parking" at the intersection of Ethel Place and Mary Lane. Ms.
Campbell states that visibility is obstructed when vehicles park at the southwest
corner of the intersection. She also explains that installation of a Stop sign on
Mary Lane would enhance safety.
Staff visited the site and observed vehicles parked near the corner of the
intersection, which is currently "uncontrolled" for all three approaches. Staff
agrees that a Stop sign and red curb "No Parking" would enhance safety and
visibility at the intersection. Since this is a low -volume, "T" intersection,
installation of a Stop sign on Mary Lane would be appropriate. Staff reviewed the
traffic collision history for the study intersection and found no "reported"
collisions.
Staff recommends the following safety enhancements for the intersection of Ethel
Place and Mary Lane:
1) Install a Stop sign on Mary Lane with 25 feet of red curb "No Parking";
2) Install 20 feet of red curb "No Parking" on the west side of Ethel Place,
south of Mary Lane to enhance visibility.
All work will be completed by the City Public Works Department.
