Item No. 16 <br />meJno�anduln <br />TO: City Council <br />John Godwin, City Manager <br />FROM: Randy Tuttle, Assistant Chief of Police <br />SUBJECT: STOPS SIGNS <br />DATE: February 15, 2013 <br />BACKGROLTND: The City of Paris Traffic Commission received a request from the US Postal <br />Service asking that a four way stop sign be installed at 4t" NW & Provine after a Postal Carrier <br />was involved in an accident at the intersection. It was reported that westbound vehicle drivers <br />could not see northbound vehicles because of an obstructed view. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: On January 8, 2013 the City of Paris Traffic Commission met to consider <br />the request to place additional stop signs at the intersection of 4th NW & Provine. Stop signs are <br />currently in place for east and west bound traffic at the intersection. Members were informed that <br />a complaint had been received after an accident because the land on the SE corner of the <br />intersection is elevated and has a privacy fence on it creating and obstructed view of northbound <br />traffic. After discussion the Commission voted 4-0 to place Stop Signs at the intersection for <br />north and south bound traffic making the intersection a four way stop. <br />BUDGET: Cost of signage installation will be approximately $200. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve request to place stop sign at 4`h NW & Provine for north and <br />south bound traffic <br />•• <br />
