ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATION:
Deny the request for an all-way stop, but
add cross-hatching to the existing crosswalk on the east leg and install school
crossing warning signage. The intersection does not meet our entering or volume
split criteria for an all-way stop and has been operating very safely. In addition,
observations of the intersection during peak hours did not reveal any significant
operating or safety problems.
