Title
Action on Resolution 18-069, a Resolution authorizing the Placement of 2-Way Stop Signs on Copper Mountain Road and Powderhorn Pass at the Intersection of Summit Pass.
Body
Summary:
This resolution will approve the placement of 2-way stop signs on the north and south sides of Summit Pass at its intersection with Copper Mountain Road / Powderhorn Pass.
Background:
The Brookings Traffic Safety Committee discussed a request to install 2-way stop signs on Copper Mountain Road and Powderhorn Pass at the intersection of Summit Pass at their June 14 and July 12, 2018 meetings. The Committee heard input from neighborhood residents and many of them supported 2-way stop signs at the intersection. The committee discussed the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), Section 2B.04, Right of Way at Intersections, and the MUTCD warrants for a 2-way stop sign that would be met was from Section 2B.04, which states “that Yield or Stop signs should be used at an intersection if one or more of the following condition exists: an intersection of a less important road with a main road where application of the normal right-of-way rule would not be expected to provide reasonable compliance with the law.” The committee also discussed that visibility is limited for south-bound vehicles due to trees near the detention pond.
The committee voted unanimously to recommend that this intersection justified the need for 2-way stop signs on the north and south sides of Summit Pass at the intersection with Copper Mountain Road and Powderhorn Pass. The minutes to the June 14th and July 12th meetings are attached.
Fiscal Impact:
The City will purchase and install two stop signs.
