Item Summary:
This intersection has been the subject of many citizen calls to the Transportation
Department because of the lack of a stop condition for the northbound Donnell Drive
approach from the SH 45 Toll frontage road. The All -Way stop condition will better meet
drivers' expectations and reduce the risks of side -impact or "T-bone" collisions between the
left -turning traffic off of High Country Boulevard and the northbound through traffic on
Donnell Drive. In addition to creating an All -Way stop condition, Transportation staff has
restriped Donnell Drive to create a non-stop, right -turn only lane for traffic accessing High
Country Boulevard. Separating this traffic from the equation enhances drivers' confidence
in their decisions at this intersection.
Cost: 0.00
Source of Funds: NA
Action:
Staff recommends adoption on second reading.
