Description
Concerned for the safety of children walking to and from L. Holton Elementary School at the intersection of Monticello Street and Claremont Avenue. Monticello Street has a stop sign, but Claremont Ave does not. The morning of 10/29, it was dark and rainy and a SUV sped thru this intersection with several parents and children crossing the street. There are more children every year attending L. Holton and walking to/from school and if a stop sign doesn't get installed, I fear someone will get hit.

- Staff · March 21, 2022The Department of Public Works (DPW) must perform an engineering study in accordance with the Federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices before installing an all-way stop. All all-way stops must meet the warrants in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). This is a federal publication that applies to all streets open to pubic travel. The MUTCD conditions are mainly about a combination of traffic on the free flow street and thestopped street. This is basically how the MUTCD warrant works: - The traffic volumes along the free flow street (major street) and the stopped street (minor street) must be at a certain level for each hour for eight hours of a week day to meet therequirements of the MUTCD all-way stop warrants. o Major street minimum requirement (total of both approaches) = 300 or more vehicles an hour. o Minor street minimum requirement (total of both approaches) = 200 or more vehicles an hour. - Both of these traffic conditions must be met. This intersection of Monticello and Claremont does not have the volume conditions for an all-way stop. DPW will mark stop bars for Monticello.
