RESOLUTION FOR THE CITY OF ELK RIVER
RESOLUTION REQUESTING A PERMANENT FOUR-WAY STOP SIGN
AT THE INTERSECTION OF SCHOOL STREET AND COUNTY ROAD #1
WHEREAS, a four-way stop sign has previously been installed by
Sherburne County at the intersection of County Road #1
and School Street during various construction projects
including the reconstruction of U.S. Highway 10; and,
WHEREAS, during the period of time when this four-way stop sign
was in place, the intersection was improved for both
the safety of pedestrians and vehicle traffic; and,
WHEREAS, it is imperative for the City and County to be
pro-active in installing safety measures at this
intersection as it is part of a main transportation
pattern for school buses and for school children; and,
WHEREAS, the congestion of vehicles at this intersection would
be reduced by allowing a smoother left turn movement
. for vehicles going south on County Road #1; and,
WHEREAS, the rate of speed of the vehicles traveling on Proctor
Avenue would be greatly reduced by a four-way stop
sign; and,
WHEREAS, the traffic flow for vehicles attempting to enter on
to County Road #1 would be improved by this four-way
stop intersection.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Elk River that for the reasons stated herein, the
City Council of the City of Elk River respectfully
request the Sherburne County Board of Commissioners to
install a four-way stop sign at the intersection of
School Street and County Road #1.
Passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Elk River
the 30th day of October, 1989.
