Honorable Chairman and Commissioners
Farid Dost, Senior Civil Engineer
March 21, 2018
Subject: Four-Way Stop at Main Street and Franklin Street
Recommendation
Concurs with the installation of a Four-Way Stop at Main Street and Franklin Street.
Background
Traffic entering Main Street from Franklin Street can take while before a gap becomes
available on Main Street. Unfortunately, certain motorists will not wait, and will make
dangerous maneuvers to make it onto Main Street. As a result, this creates a dangerous
situation for all users including pedestrians, cyclist and other motorist occupying the
intersection.
Discussion
The City Engineer, along with the Traffic Engineer, recommends installing stop signs at the
intersection of Main Street and Franklin Street to allow for a safe ingress and egress.
Currently, this intersection is furnished with two-way stop signs situated on Franklin Street,
and no stop signs on Main Street. The proposal includes adding stop signs, all way stop sign
plaques, left turn arrows, stop pavement legends and limit lines, stop ahead sign and
pedestrian crossing signs on Main Street approaching Franklin Street. In addition, it includes
removal of conflicting signs such as “cross traffic does not stop” signs on Franklin Street.
Fiscal Impact
Funding for the installation of signs and pavement markings as well as the removal of signage
will come from the Gas Tax Funds.
