Request Four-Way Stop at Linden Street and Middleton Road (Jay Ralphs) Mr. Ralphs requested in May that the above intersection be made a 4-way Stop. After discussion the Traffic Commission requested Chief Allgood to research the accident history at the above intersection and report back to the committee. Research revealed a single injury accident in the collective history of the above intersection. Reported accident history does not warrant a 4-Way Stop. The Traffic Commission agreed unanimously to decline the request. 2. Request for a Vacation of R-O-W at 2620 Montana Avenue (Byron Blackburn) During a Title search, it was revealed that the residence at 2620 Montana Avenue encroaches in the Public R-O-W along Wilson Street. In May, Mr. Blackburn requested a vacation of the R-O-W to resolve the encroachment issue, in turn making the house marketable. A motion was made and the Traffic Commission agreed to consider allowing a vacation by moving the existing westerty boundary in a Northerty direction to the distance that the R-O-W clears the house by 10' and maintains the required 50' R-O-W. It would be the responsibility of the property owner to negotiate with surrounding property owners in order to make that happen. �, „, s the decision of the TC to Mr. Blackburn New Business 3. Request Crosswalk at South Kimball & Paynter Ave. (Leslie Lindauer) The intersection indicated in the above request is complicated by design. The Traffic Commission deems that installing cross-walks at uncontrolled intersections creates a sense of false safety in pedestrians. While the TC chose to decline the request for a crosswalk at the intersection a motion was made and the Traffic Commission agreed unanimously to have Engineering and the Street department further review the area for alternative crosswalk locations. �� , �`' � __, 1w�� ` , , „''Request review of area. �.. 4.
