The Department of Public Works, through the Bureau of Traffic and
Lighting, has monitored traffic conditions at the intersection of
Edison and Crestwood Streets for approximately three years. Dur-
ing that period of time increased traffic volumes and changing
traffic patterns have been noted.
Because of the changing conditions this intersection now meets the
warrants for signalization, more specifically the warrant based on
the interruption of continuous traffic.
The Department of Public Works is preparing plans for this project
and anticipates initiating the bidding procedure leading to project
construction, subject to the appropriation of the necessary funds
by the Common Council.
Very truly yours,
Rollin E. Farrand, P.E.
