REPORT ON INVESTIGATION OF SIGNALIZATION AT RIDGEDALE AND MIAMI The following memorandum was received: October 19, 1973 To: Board of Public Works From: Bureau of Traffic & Lighting, Clem Hazinski, Manager Subject: Signalization at Ridgedale and Miami A request to the Director of Public Works reference the possibility of signalization of Ridgedale and Miami was referred to this Bureau for investigation and recommendation. Studies have been initiated and traffic counts indicate an increase in volume on Miami due primarily to the Scottsdale Mall. Volume on Ridgedale has not increased sufficiently at the present time to meet the warrants for volume. It is anticipated that this will increase, however, and then warrants will exist for a semi -actuated type of si.gnalization.
