Description
The amount of traffic on Lafayette has increased due to the popularity of the retail locations of Stella's, Stella's Market, the hair salon and boutiques. It is hard to see oncoming traffic especially in the afternoon when cars are often parked all the way to the edge of the intersection. Line of sight is also complicated by delivery trucks for these businesses unloading in the middle of the street. Both sides of Lafayette have a wide commercial alley that should be used.

- Staff · September 22, 2022The Department of Public Works (DPW) must perform an engineering study in accordance with the Federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) before installing an all-way stop. All all-way stopsmust meet the warrants in the MUTCD. The intersection of Lafayette and Wythe does not meet the conditions set forth in the MUTCD for an all-way stop.
