KOHARIK <br />Swf ETV DIRECTOR <br />.. <br />,~ ~` <br />•.~' <br />PHONE: ]]]$~~~ <br />REPORT TO COUNCIL <br />1) We have contacted Mural & Sons about the moving of vacant houses along <br />the right-of-way for I 480. One of the houses in question is located <br />at 6304 Stearns Road and is scheduled to be moved tomorrow at 9:00. <br />The .house mover has informed me that they have two more existing structures <br />to be moved. They have signed a contract on one of them and feel that the <br />remaining move will be in the near future. <br />2) Stop sign at Berkshire and Alden Drives. A traffic counter was placed at <br />two locations in this area. First, at Berkshire and Tudor, where the <br />highest amount of traffic allegedly was. This was for northbound traffic. <br />The counter was set to detect traffic turning left into Tudor Drive. The <br />average hourly flow of northbound traffic was 128 vehicles, the average <br />southbound flow was 83 vehicles. The average flow of traffic coming out <br />of Alden westbound was 25 vehicles per hour with a peak number of vehicles <br />at 6 p.m. of 40 vehicles. This would give us a total flow in this area <br />of 236 vehicles per hour. We have no record of vehicular or pedestrian <br />accidents at this intersection. Once again the Ohio Manual of Traffic <br />Control Devices states that to warrant a multi-way stop sign there should <br />be a minimum of 500 vehicles per hour using the intersection with 200 of <br />these vehicles coming from the minor street. The manual also states that <br />stop signs shall not be used for speed control. <br />It is the recommendation of the Police Department that due to the low <br />volume of traffic at this intersection, a multi-way stop sign not be <br />placed at this time. <br />Richard W.
