This intersection is <br />not on the school routes for Muessel School nor Holy Cross <br />School.. <br />In the past 5 years, there has been only one (1) motor <br />vehicle accident reported at this location which was due to <br />icy road conditions. Obviously no accidents have occurred <br />involving pedestrians. Sufficient gaps in traffic were <br />found in this intersection averaging 70 seconds in duration. <br />These gaps are more than sufficient to allow pedestrian <br />crossing in safety. <br />The inability of this intersection to meet neither the volume <br />nor accident warrants, combined with the field observations <br />made, indicate that a 4-way stop is not warranted at this <br />time and therefore not recommended. The neighborhood will <br />be checked and Watch Children Signs will be installed as needed. <br />s/ Ralph Wadzinski, Manager <br />Bureau of Traffic & Lighting <br />Upon motion made, seconded and carried, the report was ordered <br />filed. <br />1 <br />
