5Nw Report Number 10-073 <br />BRIUMN Agenda Section VI-4 <br />the city that works for you Council Meeting Date March 23, 2010 <br />• REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION: Referral of Letter requesting flashing crosswalk lights at the intersection <br />of 7th Street NW and 23rd Avenue NW at Highview Middle School to the Public Safety <br />Commission. <br />DEPARTMENT HEAD'S APPROVAL: 6*4vV <br />CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL: <br />No comments to supplement this report J d1- Comments attached <br />Recommendation: <br />Accept the letter and refer the request of flashing crosswalk lights at the intersection of 7th Street <br />NW and 23`d Avenue NW at Highview Middle School to the Public Safety Commission for <br />consideration. <br />Legislative History: <br />None <br />Financial Impact: <br />N/A <br />Explanation: <br />Principal Heather Timmons from Highview Middle School wrote a letter requesting installation <br />of flashing crosswalk lights on 7th Street NW near 23`d Avenue NW. The City does not have any <br />policies regarding flashing crosswalk lights and there is very little guidance on flashing <br />crosswalk lights. Crosswalk lights cost approximately $10,000 and are eligible for Municipal <br />State Aid (MSA) funding if the crosswalk is located on a MSA route. In this case, 7th Street NW <br />is an MSA street. <br />I recommend this request be referred to the Public Safety Commission for consideration and <br />policy guidance for acceptance or denial of this request that is specific to this location. This <br />guidance will be useful in future requests for flashing crosswalk lights. <br />74z� � <br />Grant M. W els, P.E. <br />Director of Public Works <br />0 Attachments <br />
