Proposed Stop Signs at Yellowstone Drive and Yosemite
Subject: (Hill 'n Park) .r--
Based on the traffic count of over 700 vehicles per day on Yellowstone
Drive and because of the curved alignment of Yellowstone Drive north
of Yosemite,the Engineering Department recommends placing stop signs
to create a two-way stop at the intersection of Yellowstone Drive and
Yosemite Street. The stop signs would be placed on Yosemite Street
making Yellowstone Drive the thru road.
Please place this item on the Commissioners' agenda along with the
attached support materials.

Subject: Proposed "Stop" signs at Yellowstone Drive and Yosemite
(Hi U 'hi Park
There have been several canplaints regarding the volume of traffic
at the intersection of Yellowstone Drive and Ythemite. Yellowstone
Drive is one of the main entrances into the s;1h9ivision and currently
the intersection is uncontrolled.
I would reoomnend that this intersection be controlled with 2-way
"Stops" with Yellowstone Drive being the through road. Attached is
a diagram of the pit:posed signing and a traffic count.

Dear Mr. Scheltinga:
I spoke with Mark Street in your Sign Department and he suggested
that I write a letter to the Engineering Department. I am concerened
with of e at Peopleharerconstantly driving ttheir ycars spast myl house 3 lins excess tone r e
of
40 miles per hour. This is a residential area with a lot of small
children and elderly persons who are frequently taking walks. There
are no side walke or stop signs in Hill-n-Park. The combination of
these factors creates a very dangerous situation that is sure to end
in tragedy.I ur bea installed iin Hill-n-Park. Especially ng that sop signs and 15 infront of speed
of my house.
It is my opionion that the most dangerous intersection is at
Yellowstone Drive and Yosemite (at the fire station) . This should
be a 4-way-stop. There
in accidents at this uncontrol times s
uncontrolled Intersection. Being close to then
Little Store", this intersection handels at least half of all traffic
leaving and entering Hill-n-Park_
I have two small children ( both under 3) , and the rates of speed
at which people drive by my house are very dangerous and nerve wrecking.
Two weeks ago two vehicles traveled past my house at speeds in
excess of 50 miles per hour, squealing their tires and sliding
around the corner at Yellowstone drive and Yosmite. A speed bump
located in conjunction with the water drain at aprox. 4711 Yellowstone
Drive would decrease the chance of the happening agian.
