He also noted that if the Board approved this request, Public Works staff recommended an additional stop sign to make the intersection an all-way stop. Diane Amos of 1414 Circle Avenue expressed concerns about speeding in the neighborhood. She requested that the Board consider a three-way stop at the opposite end of Circle Avenue and Clagett Avenue or the lowering of the speed limit to address the situation. Roy Jennett of 1405 Clagett Avenue stated that motorists were disregarding the yield sign and not stopping for cross traffic. He explained that he requested the stop sign to force cars to stop, and he further requested the Board’s consideration. In response to a question from Comm. Wilkerson, Interim Public Works Director Katie Schaller confirmed that staff had an alternate proposal to realign the intersection. Mr. Lashlee laid out the conceptual design for realigning the intersection with the removal of a triangular shaped island and bringing the intersection points closer together. Comm.

Mayor Walker asked Ms. Amos and Mr. Jennett, and any other residents in attendance, if they were in agreement with staff’s proposal. Ms. Amos stated it may help the situation in that area, but not the other end of Circle Avenue. Mr. Jennett voiced he thought it would be great if the intersection could be reconfigured. Comm. Nash expressed support for the realignment proposal, the replacement of the yield sign with a stop sign and the addition of the other stop sign as recommended. He inquired about the cost and the length of time it would take for the project to be completed. Mr. Lashlee replied that it would cost somewhere between $5,000 to $10,000 and could be completed before the asphalt plant closed for the season, mid-November. Ms. Schaller disclosed that funding for the project would come from underspending in the Liquid Fuel Tax Fund. 8 (Minutes-Board of Commissioners-September 21, 2010) Comm. Nash made a motion, seconded by Hamilton, to amend Municipal Order No. 2010 – 205 to include the reconfiguration of the intersection with the installation of the two stop signs.
