RE: GATES AVENUE RESTRIPING ISSUE
Dear Councilmembers:
As directed at the last City Council meeting, staff has prepared the attached striping plan to
re-install the two-lane striping pattern with a wide shoulder area on the southern portion of
Gates Avenue. The northern portion of Gates Avenue and Freeport Avenue would remain
as currently striped in a three-lane configuration. We have looked at the various options for
transitioning from a two-lane roadway to a three-lane roadway. We believe that the best
transition would be as shown on the exhibit, with back-to-back left turn lanes for St.
Andrews Church driveway north-bound and the Evans Meadows apartment complex south-
bound. South of this area would be a two-lane roadway with a wide shoulder, and north of
this area would be the three-lane configuration. It should be noted that City staff, including
myself, Police Chief Jeff Beahen, and Street Superintendent Phil Hals, are still concerned
about safety with allowing parking along both sides of Gates Avenue, which has a traffic
count of over 6,000 vehicles on an average weekday and no pedestrian facilities adjacent to
the roadway. It should also be noted that as directed by the City Council, this re-striping
exhibit has been sent to the property owner mailing list for Gates Avenue.
Also, as requested by the City Council, I have attached two previous City Council agenda
items. The first is from 1994 and deals with the potential realignment of 3'd Street east of
Gates Avenue to line up the east and west sides of 3'd Street. The second item is from 1997
and deals with the analysis of whether or not a four-way stop sign at the intersection of
Gates Avenue and 3,d Street would be appropriate.

RE: TIllRD STREET I GATES A VENUE INTERSECTION
Dear Ms. Nickerson:
Thank you for contacting me today regarding the intersection of Third Street and Gates
Avenue. As you've read in the paper, the City Council has directed me to contact you
regarding the potential acquisition of a parcel of property from you in order to realign the
intersection. Potentially, this realignment could be accomplished by acquiring a triangular
strip of property along your southerly property line which would be approximately 20 feet
wide at Gates Avenue and taper to zero at the southeast comer of your lot. Attached are two
copies of a sketch that was prepared in July of 1992 showing a concept of realigning this
intersection.
As we discussed on the phone today, this is only a concept-it is not a hard and fast design.
Also, the City Council's direction to me was to make contact with you and see if there was
any interest in pursuing a discussion regarding the potential of acquisition of the property
necessary for the realignment. As you are aware, the realignment of this intersection by
moving Third Street to the north would necessitate the removal of the large tree in the front
of your property. As I indicated, if you would like, we would be happy to put some survey
stakes on your property to indicate the actual area the City would like to acquire.
After you have had an opportunity to review the sketch, please give me a call. I'd be happy
to meet you and your husband at any mutually convenient time to discuss this issue further.
Sincerely,
MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS

RE: Proposed Movement of Third st. NW, Elk River
Dear Mr. Maurer:
Thank you for dropping off the sketches of the proposed change
of Third st. and the staking out you did in our front yard.
Considering all of the issues that would come into play when
moving Third st., we wish to inform you that we are not
interested in selling any portion of our property or tree for
this project. Our reasons are as follows:
1. The healthy oak tree which you indicated would have
to be cut down is too important to us. It would be tragic to
remove a tree that is at least 100 years old, healthy and
valuable for many different reasons.
2. The Nickerson family has been in Elk River since
1854 and this is the last piece of property remaining in the
family. since the home was constructed in 1910, family
members have lived in it and it is very important for us to
preserve that. There is absolutely no way we would willingly
have half of our front yard lost to a roadway. We would not
only lose land but all sense of what privacy is available in
the center of town.
3. with the proposed movement of Third street, our
driveway would be extremely close to the intersection. As it
is now, it is difficult to back onto Gates. with the proposed
change, it would be next to impossible and very hazardous.
4. We have been in contact with a real estate
specialist. He has looked at the proposed change and has
informed us that if the roadway were to be moved and the tree
as well as our front yard were lost, it would reduce the value
of our home by approximately 20-25% of its present value.
For these above reasons, we again say, no. Should the city
council continue to go ahead with this plan, we wish to have
the issue of right of way addressed as the street now stands.
It is our understanding that the right of way for Third Street
was not created by any easement or other recorded document and
that, therefore, the right of way may only extend to the edge
of the actual paved road. In that case the city has no right
of way beyond the roadbed.
If there is anything further you need or if there is any more
discussion on this matter, we would appreciate hearing from
you.
Sincerely, --A /J _'gAA....-.')

RE: THIRD STREET/GATES AVENUE
4-WAY STOP SIGN STUDY
Dear Council Members:
Per your request on April 7, 1997, an analysis was done to determine if a 4-way stop is
warranted at the intersection of Gates Avenue and Third Street (see Exhibit A). There are
currently stop signs for both eastbound and westbound Third Street. Traffic counts were
taken from April 22 to April 24 for all approaches of the intersection. A 48-hour count was
taken, with volumes recorded every 15 minutes. A summary of those counts is found in
Appendix A. Accident records were also obtained and are found in Appendix B. The
warrants for installation of multi-way stop signs, found in the Minnesota Manual of Uniform
Traffic Control Devices, were then used to determine whether or not a recommendation should
be made to install stop signs for northbound and southbound traffic on Gates Avenue.
The warrants for multi-way stop signs, and the degree to which they are met at this
intersection, are as follows:
1. Where traffic signals are warranted and urgently needed, the multi-way stop is
an interim measure that can be installed quickly to control traffic while
arrangements are being made for the signal installation.
A traffic signal is neither warranted nor urgently needed at this intersection.
Therefore, this warrant is not met.
2.
An accident problem, as indicated by five or more reported accidents in a 12-
month period, of a type that could be correctable by a multi-way stop installation.
Such accidents include right and left turn collisions, as well as right angle
collisions.
One accident was reported at this intersection in 1992, two in 1993, three in 1994, two
in 1995, and two in 1996. Therefore, this warrant is not met.
3. Minimum traffic volumes:
a)
The total vehicular volume entering the intersection from all apptoaches
must average at least 500 vehicles per hour for any eight hours of an
average day, and
An Equal Opp~rtunity Employer
Honorable Mayor and City Council
May 7, 1997
Page Two
During the first 24-hour count, this volume warrant was met for seven
hours. During the second 24-hour count, this volume was met for six
hours. Since this intersection does not have a volume of 500 vehicles for
at least eight hours each day, this warrant is not met.
b) The combined vehicular and pedestrian volume from the minor street
or highway must average at least 200 units per hour for the same eight
hours, with an average delay to minor street vehicular traffic of at least
30 seconds per vehicle during the maximum hour, but
Pedestrian counts were not taken. However, during the time the traffic
counters were set up and taken down, very little pedestrian volume was
observed. Therefore, the volumes involve only those of vehicles. During
the first 24-hour count, this volume warrant was met for one hour. During
the second 24-hour count, this volume warrant was met for zero hours.
Since the minor street does not have a volume of 200 vehicles per hour for
eight hours each day, this warrant is not met. Because the first part of this
warrant was not met, a delay study was not conducted to determine if the
second part of this warrant is met.
b) When the 85-percentiIe approach speed of the major street traffic
exceeds 40 miles per hour, the minimum vehicular volume warrant is
70 percent of the above requirements.
The speed limit of Gates Avenue is 30 mph. Therefore, the warrant
reduction does not apply.
Based on the fact that none of the warrants for 4-way stop control are met at this
intersection, it is our recommendation that stop signs not be added at northbound and
southbound Gates Avenue at this time.
Please contact us if you have any questions or would like further study completed.
Sincerely,

stop is not necessary at all times. Periodic reviews of existing installations
may be desirable to determine whether, because of changed conditions.
the use of less restrictive control or no control could accommodate traffic
demands safely and more effectively.
STOP signs should never be used on the through roadways of
expressways. Properly designed expressway interchanges provide for the
continuous flow of traffic, making STOP signs unnessary even on the
entering roadways. Where at-grade intersections are temporarily justified
for local traffic in sparsely populated areas, STOP signs should be used on
the entering roadways to protect the through traffic. STOP signs may also
be required at the end of diverging roadways at the intersection with other
highways not designed as expressways. In most of these cases. the speeds
will not warrant any great increase in the sign sizes.
STOP signs shall not be erected at intersections where traffic control
signals are operating. The conflicting commands of two types of control
devices are confusing. If traffic is required to stop when the operation of
the stop-and-go signals is not warranted, the signals should be put on
flashing operation with the red flashing light facing the traffic that must
stop.
Where two main highways intersect, the STOP sign or signs should
Lormally be posted on the minor street to stop the lesser flow of traffic.
Traffic engineering studies, however, may justify a decision to install a
STOP sign or signs on the major street, as at a three-way intersection
where safety considerations may justify stopping the greater flow of
traffic to permit a left-turning movement.
STOP signs may be used at selected railroad-highway grade crossings
only after their need has been determined by a detailed traffic engineering
study. Use of the STOP sign at railroad-highway grade crossings is
described in Section 8B-9.
Portable or part-time STOP signs shall not be used except for
emergency purposes. Also, STOP signs should not be used for speed
control.
2B-6 Multiway Stop Signs
The "Multiway Stop" installation is useful as a safety measure at some
locations. It should ordinarily be used only where the volume of traffic on
the intersecting roads is approximately equal. A traffic control signal is
more satisfactory for an intersection with a heavy volume of traffic.
Any of the following conditions may warrant a multiway STOP sign
installation (sec. 2B-4):
1. Where traffic signals are warranted and urgently needed, the
multiway stop is an interim measure that can be installed quickly to
control traffic while arrangements are being made for the signal
installation.

.'"......_.,......,-......
VIll-5 (e)
Rev. 2
2. An accident problem, as indicated by five or more reported accidents
of a type susceptible of correction by a multiway stop installation in a
12-month period. Such accidents include right- and left-turn collisions as
well as right-angle collisions.
3. Minimum traffic volumes:
(a) The total vehicular volume entering the intersection from all
approaches must average at least 500 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of
an average day, and
(b) The combined vehicular and pedestrian volume from the minor
street or highway must average at least 200 units per hour for the same 8
hours, with an average delay to minor street vehicular traffic of at least 30
seconds per vehicle during the maximum hour, but
(c) When the 85-percentile approach speed of the major street traffic
exceeds 40 miles per hour, the minimum vehicular volume warrant is 70
percent of the above requirements.
2B-7 Yield Sign (Rl-2)
The YIELD sign assigns right-of-way to traffic on certain approaches to
an intersection. Vehicles controlled by a YIELD sign need stop only when
necessary to avoid interference with other traffic that is given the right-of-
way.
The YIELD sign shall be a downward pointing, equilateral triangle
having a red border band and a white interior and the word YIELD in red
inside the border band. The standard size shall be 36 x 36 x 36 inches.
y
2B-8 Warrants for Yield Signs
The YIELD sign may be warranted:
I. At the entrance to an intersection where it is necessary to assign
right-of-way and where the safe approach speed on the entrance exceeds
10 miles per hour.
2. On the entrance ramp to an expressway where an acceleration lane is
not provided.

Twenty- four accidents recorded total ~ four more were recorded that appear unrelated to
intersection or issues at hand. (Drunk drivers, private property)
Twelve of these accidents may have been avoided by the new 3-lane formation as they
involved rear end collisions and turning vehicles or bike accidents.
The rest are stop sign or fail to yield violations or were weather related.
