- Staff · February 14, 2025The Department of Public Works must perform engineering studies in accordance with the Federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) before installing an all-way stop. All all-way stops must meet the warrants in the MUTCD. Malvern Ave and Franklin St does not have the traffic volume requirements for an all-way stop. DPW must also perform engineering studies and use the MUTCD for new traffic signals. The intersection of Malvern Ave and Franklin St does not meet the necessary MUTCD warrants in the for a traffic signal. Another engineer will review the crosswalk request.
- Staff · October 20, 2025According to citywide speed data, 85 percent of drivers are going the speed limit on Malvern Avenue. A crosswalk will not be installed due to upstream and downstream signals creating the gap necessary for pedestrians to cross.
