RESOLUTION NO. 2003-539
INSTALLATION OF STOP SIGNS FOR NORTHBOUND
AND SOUTHBOUND COMSTOCK LANE AT 29TH AVENUE
WHEREAS, as part of the City's Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program, the City has
received a request from a resident concerned with the lack of traffic control at the
intersection of Comstock Lane and 29th Avenue; and
WHEREAS, the north and south approaches of Comstock Lane are considered the minor
approaches of this intersection, carrying approximately one-quarter of the traffic entering the
intersection; and
WHEREAS, this intersection is located just east of Dunkirk Lane on one of two entrances to
the Maple Dell neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, since there is only 150 feet separating Dunkirk Lane from Comstock Lane,
drivers entering the neighborhood from Dunkirk Lane have limited time to react to motorists
on Comstock Lane; and
WHEREAS, there is currently no control at this intersection and there have been three
reported accidents in the last three years; and
WHEREAS, for safety purposes and to clearly establish which driver has the right-of-way,
the City Engineer has recommended that stop signs be placed on the north and south
approaches of Comstock Lane at 29th Avenue;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA, that stop signs be installed for northbound and
southbound Comstock Lane at 29th Avenue.
Adopted by the City Council on November 25, 2003.
