Conway Mike Freeman Barbara Kirkmeyer ec .' Ai/2 2013-1623 EG0069 MEMORANDUM TO: Clerk to the Board DATE: June 24, 2013 FROM: Janet Carter, Public Works SUBJECT: Temporary Stop Signs on CR 29 of CR 84 A Request Resolution from the BOCC directing Public Works to maintain traffic regulatory signs (Stop Signs R1-1). This is to address the temporary solution of the increase traffic caused by the detour route for the SH 14 Bridge construction project. The signs will be in place from June 25, 2013 to July 25, 2013. The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) section 2B.06 suggests that stop signs should be placed at Intersection where a restricted view exists that requires road users to stop in order to adequately observe conflicting traffic on the through street or highway. Due to the roadway construction in this area the detour has had an increase of traffic. Public Works recommends that traffic be stopped on WCR 29 in the north and south bound direction due to the detour traffic; this will create a temporary 4 way stop condition at this intersection. 2013-1623 Page - 1 - of 1 June 24, 2013 C:\Users\sbrown\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files \Content.Outlook\316RN7MX\BOCC 062413 Temp SS.DOC Hello
