<br />to preserve.the adjacent residential properties. :Atr~ffic counter"

<br />for eight consecutive hours on 9A Avenue. Current.traffic studies
<br />qf lOth Street' N\>l indicate the lOth Street NW has 600 vehicle trips
<br />per day for four consecutive hours. This is not enough traffic to
<br />w~rrarit.a traffic signal, We presently have a counter out on9A
<br />Avenue to establish the daily approach traffic on 9A Avenue.o
<br />It ls staffl s. optnio'n that the traffic counts on .9A Ave.riue will fall
<br />far short of the number requir~d for ~ signalized i~tersection.
<br />In comparison 8th Avenue' NW presently has .twiceas much average
<br />daily traffic as 9A Avenue. There has been nodem~nd for a signal
<br />~t the intersection of 8th Avenue and 10th Street. The state has
<br />been taking traffic co~nts at the intersection.of Long L~ke Road'
<br />and 1-694. The .traffic volumes. recor'ded'by the state do: not yet
<br />meet the volumes needed to. ins t a.1l traffic signals at fhe,~ 0 n 9 Lake
