3. Request for speed reduction of Stop sign at Florida and Homedale intersection —
Kathryn Cock
The increasing number of accidents at this intersection make it dangerous for Kathryn's
family to be out in their yard. High velocity debris is an on-going problem and it appears to
be escalating with three accidents in the last week. Barriers would block the cars but it does
"nothing " for the velocity of debris being thrown from accidents due to speeds on the road.
A developer recently conducted a traffic analysis for a development near that intersection.
The study indicated that intersection does warrant a four-way stop according to MUTCD
Guidelines. Engineering and Street will work together to move forward in a timely manner.
ACTION: Engineering and Street will design and install a four-way stop in a timely manner.
Resource/Weather Pending Business:
1. A signal is planned at 24th Avenue and Blaine Street in front of the Simplot Stadium. The signal
currently installed at Santa Anna and Ustick Road midblock will be repurposed for this project once
the Ustick/Santa Anna RAB is complete.
2. Extend red curbing at 20th &Cleveland—CPD created a package solution for parking and sight issues in
this area.The Traffic Commission requested a copy for review before the plan is added to the Council
