On March 5, 2013, the City Council considered the adoption of Resolution No. 2013-29,
seeking approval to install curve warning signs for both directions of travel on Cagle Street
between Stockman and Menard Streets. Approximately 20 feet of red curb "No Parking"
was also recommended to accompany the proposed curve warning signs at the curve on
the 3100 block of Cagle Street to discourage vehicles from parking and blocking the signs.
The City Council directed staff to perform a new site assessment to review the proposed
type and location of signs and amount of red curb on Cagle Street. The City Council also
directed staff to evaluate the need for All -Way Stop Control at the intersection of Cagle
Street and Menard Street.
Staff performed a follow-up site evaluation and prepared a new report for the Traffic Safety
Committee (TSC Item No. 2013-09). Staff recommended to the Traffic Safety Committee
at their meeting of May 8, 2013, the following:
1. Install 20 feet of red curb "No Parking" at the curve on the 3100 block of Cagle
Street to accommodate reflectorized chevron curve warning signs (W1-8) for
eastbound traffic and discourage vehicles from parking and blocking the signs;
2. Install a curve ahead warning sign (W1-2) with 20 MPH plaque for eastbound traffic;
3. Install All -Way Stop Control at the intersection of Cagle Street and Menard Street
with Stop Ahead warning signs and pavement markings in advance of the
intersection for eastbound and westbound approaches;
4. Install 25 feet of red curb "No Parking" as required in advance of the new stop signs
for eastbound and westbound approaches to the intersection of Cagle Street and
Menard Street.
The Traffic Safety Committee voted unanimously to approve the staff recommendation.
If approved, all work will be performed by the City Public Works Department.
