ITEM NO. 4:

 

Consider request from the University of Kansas to establish an ALL-WAY STOP at the intersection of Constant Avenue & Becker Drive.

 

David Woosley reviewed the information provided in the staff report and distributed copies of an email opposed to the request.

 

Commissioner Morse:  I work close to this intersection and it doesn’t seem like a good idea to me; has a study been done? Does it meet the warrants?  Woosley advised that the University had not submitted any documentation.

 

Commissioner Ziegelmeyer:  A stop sign makes no sense there at all.

 

Commissioner Morse:  We are very careful on this commission to recommend stop signs only when warrants are met and we have no idea if any warrant is met here or not.

 

Commissioner Hamby:  It could create a dangerous situation with false security.

 

MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HAGEN, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER MORSE, TO RECOMMEND DENYING THE REQUEST FOR AN ALL-WAY STOP AT THE INTERSECTION OF CONSTANT AVENUE & BECKER DRIVE; THE MOTION CARRIED 7-0.
