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.
