COUNCIL INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Improve transportation systems
Address quality of place issues
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW:N/A
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
At the August 24th, 2017 City Council meeting, the City Council discussed installing midblock crosswalks with warning devices at two locations: 3rd Avenue north of Hudson near the two Canterbury facilities, and 30th Avenue in front of Columbia Valley Gardens Elementary School (CVG). The City Council concurred with staff’s recommendation to hire a traffic engineering consultant to evaluate the two locations to comply with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices requirement for an engineering study before installing a midblock pedestrian crossing. The traffic engineering firm Kittelson and Associates (KAI) was retained to study the proposed crossings; however, their work was delayed due to Cascade Natural Gas construction significantly disrupting traffic along 3rd Avenue until mid-February | approved | Pass |
