specifically, there were six incidents from November 2019-2020, six incidents from November 2020-2021, and four incidents from November 2021-2022. Based upon primary factor or narrative listed in the police report, fifteen of these incidents were right-angle collisions. This data exceeds the threshold for a multi -way stop warrant, which is a minimum of 4 right-angle collisions in a 12-month period. Other Considerations F�� Optional criteria for an all -way stop include the A ` Y, iTO need to control left turn conflicts, high pedestrian volumes and vehicle/pedestrian conflicts, visibility - conflicts, and two similar residential neighborhood streets. There is a visibility conflict at this intersection, u when traveling east on Dubail Ave due to the building located at the northwest corner of the intersection. The picture to the right is taken from the stop sign for the ` eastbound travel lane on Dubail Ave at the northwest j�� corner of the intersection. As can be seen in the picture, the building obstructs line of sight into the southbound travel lane of Fellows St. Outside of twenty-four pedestrians at the 4 PM hour, the pedestrian counts at the intersection were insignificant. However, given the cold weather on the day of the pedestrian count (low of 217), pedestrian counts are expected to be higher in warmer weather, particularly the summer months when United Way programs are underway. Recommendation Although the collision data warrants a multi -way stop, the traffic volume at the intersection does not. However, there are additional considerations that impact the safety of this intersection. Firstly, the United Way Building at the northwest corner of the intersection obstructs line of sight on to Fellows St for traffic traveling east on Dubail Ave. Additionally, with the new community center and recently completed Dubail Streetscape, pedestrian traffic through this intersection is encouraged and should increase. Given the collisions, visibility conflicts and expected pedestrian traffic increase, the Engineering Division recommends adding stop signs on Fellows St at the intersection with Dubail Ave to make the intersection an all -way stop. In implementation of these new stop signs, the Engineering Division recommends the use of two flashing stop signs and message boards to alert drivers to this change. These devices would be left in place for 90 days, then the message boards will be removed and flashing stop signs will be replaced with static stop signs.
