Mr. Weiss plans to open his new business on October 6, 2021. The applicant meets all State Statute and Chapter 12 requirements. I have included a copy of the floor plan as provided by Mr. Weiss. The “Class B” license the City would be issuing is one of eight licenses that was provided to Pabst Farms under WI Stat. 125.51(4)(x)3 for use in the area that comprised the former Tax Incremental District #3 (Capital Improvement Area.) This is a regular license ($600.00) and Pabst Farms Development, Inc. (William Niemann) has provided the City with a Letter of transfer effective upon Council approval. ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS N/A FINANCIAL IMPACT The “Class B” license is a regular license and will expire on June 30, 2022. The prorated fee is $450.00 and the license will need to come forward for renewal during our annual June licensing renewal period.

In June of 2021, we had completed a traffic study at this intersection to determine vehicle counts and speeds in the area. This information was provided to Alderman Ellis that included a recommendation that no additional stop signs be added. We did place two No Parking Here To Corner signs to assist with visibility. ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS Alderman Ellis requested the item to be on the October 5 Council agenda. Staff wanted the opportunity to discuss this with the Protection and Welfare Committee to have an overall discussion regarding the placement of signs when requested by the public. FINANCIAL IMPACT N/A COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Discussion Item Only SUGGESTED COMMON COUNCIL MOTION Z:\City Administrator\Council Agenda\Background Memo for Second and Worthington Traffic Study.docx 1 5  June 16, 2021 To: City Administrator From: Chief Pfister Re: Traffic Survey of W Second Street and Worthington Street Residents in the area of Worthington Street and W Second Street recently complained about speeding vehicles on W Second Street and the hazardous intersection when crossing W Second Street at Worthington Street. Their request is to install four way stop signs at the intersections of W Second and Worthington. A traffic survey was conducted in April of this year. Unfortunately, road construction started on W Wisconsin Avenue, which caused traffic to be detoured onto W Second Street. Our department decided to conduct a second survey, which was conducted in May of 2021. Speed monitors were deployed for eastbound and westbound traffic on W Second Street at Worthington. Both monitors were positioned to collect data from vehicles traveling in each direction. The following is a result of the two surveys: W Second St/Worthington St (Westbound Traffic) Survey Average 50% 85% Max Average 11-20 Mph 21-30 Mph Date Speed Speed Speed Speed Daily Vehicle Count Speed % Speed % 05-13 to 05-22-21 27 mph 28 mph 31 mph 81 1620 6.5 78.5 • 13.7% (2661) vehicles traveled at speeds between 31-40 mph • .5% (103) vehicles traveled at a speed between 41-50 mph W Second St/Worthington St (Eastbound Traffic) Survey Average 50% 85% Max Average 11-20 Mph 21-30 Mph Date Speed Speed Speed Speed Daily Vehicle Count Speed % Speed % 05-13 to 05-22-21 26 mph 27 mph 31 mph 66 1677 8 79.3 • 12% (2503) vehicles traveled at speeds between 31-40 mph • .1% (14) vehicles traveled at a speed between 41-50 mph 6  W Second St/Worthington St (East/Westbound Traffic) Survey Average 50% 85% Max Average 11-20 Mph 21-30 Mph Date Speed Speed Speed Speed Daily Vehicle Count Speed % Speed % 08/2017 – 08-2017 25.7 26 30 60 1651 7.2 83.3 • 8.7% (3032) vehicles traveled at a speed between 31-40 mph • .8% (26) vehicles traveled at a speed between 41-50 mph Listed below are the guidelines for the application of stop signs from the Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices. I have compared the collected data to the guidelines and determined: a) Vehicle traffic counts are less than 6,000 vehicles per day (average of approximately 1,635 vehicles per day). b) If parked vehicles are within 15 feet of the intersection, the driver’s view is restricted on Worthington at W Second Street. c) Checking back on the 5-year history at this intersection, we have located only 3 crashes. It should also be noted that 2B.05 of the manual states as guidance “Stop signs should not be used for speed control”. Section 2B.06 Stop Sign Applications Guidance: 01 At intersections where a full stop is not necessary at all times, consideration should first be given to using less restrictive measures such as YIELD signs (see Sections 2B.08 and 2B.09). 02 The use of STOP signs on the minor-street approaches should be considered if engineering judgment indicates that a stop is always required because of one or more of the following conditions: A. The vehicular traffic volumes on the through street or highway exceed 6,000 vehicles per day; B. A restricted view exists that requires road users to stop in order to adequately observe conflicting traffic on the through street or highway; and/or C. Crash records indicate that three or more crashes that are susceptible to correction by the installation of a STOP sign have been reported within a 12-month period, or that five or more such crashes have been reported within a 2-year period. Such crashes include right-angle collisions involving road users on the minor-street approach failing to yield the right-of-way to traffic on the through street or highway Support: 03 The use of stop signs at grade crossings is described in Sections 8B.04 and 8B.05. Based on the information that was obtained from the traffic survey, guidelines from the Manual for Uniform Traffic Control and Devices, and my observations, I do not believe the placement of a 4-way stop sign at the intersection of W Second Street and Worthington Street is warranted. However, I will be requesting “No Parking” signs be posted on W Second Street at this intersection to increase traffic visibility. Our department will also conduct speed enforcement at various times of the day in an effort to reduce speeds in this area. cc: Mark Frye 7
