RESOLUTION NO. 2003-071
APPROVING AN "ALL -WAY" STOP AT THE INTERSECTION OF 32ND
AVENUE AND OLIVE LANE
WHEREAS, according to the MnMUTCD, the need to control vehicle/pedestrian conflicts
near locations that generate high pedestrian volumes may be considered in the analysis for
all -way stop control; and
WHEREAS, there is currently a playground and tennis court located immediately north of
the intersection and we feel the need to control the vehicle/pedestrian conflicts near the park
is important; and
WHEREAS, a crosswalk across 32nd Avenue, connecting to the park trail is not feasible at
this location since it would extend into the center of Olive Lane; and
WHEREAS, the traffic flow at this intersection is somewhat unique since typically at a "T"
intersection, the leg that creates the "T" usually is the approach with the lowest volumes and
is required to yield to the through street, whereas Olive Lane which creates the "T" carries
the highest traffic volumes; and
WHEREAS, to more clearly establish which driver has the right-of-way, the City Engineer
recommends the installation of an all -way stop at this intersection.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA: That an "All -Way" stop be installed at the
intersection of 32nd Avenue and Olive Lane.
Adopted by the City Council on February 11, 2003.
