Please be advised of the following: When we receive a request for the installation of a traffic signal at an intersection or a request to designate an intersection as a “multi-way” stop we initiate a traffic engineering survey. This survey consists of a crash analysis, collision diagram, condition diagram and a 25 hour motor vehicle count and when warranted a “speed” or “classification” count. We also take into consideration other factors at the intersection, such as, any sight distance problems for vehicles entering the intersection. Once all the traffic engineering data is collected it is analyzed. If the data collected falls within the parameters mandated by the federal guidelines of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) for the installation of a traffic signal or an additional stop street we then proceed with the necessary steps. If it is determined that a traffic signal installation is warranted we then need to identify a funding source, award a contract for design and then award a contract for the construction. This process may take a couple of years. If it is determined that the traffic engineering collected at the intersection meets the warrants for a multi-way stop, an Ordinance is proposed for Municipal Council approval. Twenty days after adoption by the Municipal Council the Ordinance will go into Law. Soon thereafter the warning, parking and regulatory signs and pavement markings will be installed at the intersection.
Whether the traffic data collected does or does not indicate that an additional traffic control device is warranted, we will still make improvements at the intersection and at the approaches to the intersection. We make sure all the signs are clear and visible and clear the corners with “no parking any time” signs for better visibility. We will issue work orders to install if necessary, speed limit signs at the approaches to the intersection. If there are designated crosswalks, if needed, we will also install “pedestrian approach” and “pedestrian crossing" with diagonal arrow signs.
I will advise you of the outcome of your request once all the traffic engineering data is collected and analyzed

What about common sense? Cars come around a cross walk (blind) with a nursing home on the corner. I have a feeling there was a sign but it may no longer be there

Where are we with this?

We apologize for the delayed response. We are moving forward with the change in ordinance to have the eastbound approach of Franklin Street at Ogden Avenue operate under stop control.

Our apologies for the delayed response. An ordinance was passed to make this improvement and the intersection is now under all-way stop control.
