ITEM: 9B. Consider an ordinance designating the intersection of Gattis
School Road at South Creek Drive as a stop intersection with
stop signs placed on both streets. (Second Reading)
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Jim Nuse
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
At the request of numerous Round Rock citizens, we have recently conducted traffic counts
at the intersection of Gattis School Road with South Creek Drive. The traffic counts
indicate that the minimum volume warrants for a traffic signal have been met. It is our
intention to install a traffic signal, but it will take about six months to accomplish the
installation.
Because of the delays being experienced at this intersection by residents in the South
Creek area, we are recommending that Stop signs supplemented by red flashing beacons
be installed on Gattis School Road at this intersection until the traffic signal can be installed
and made operational. This will create an All -Way Stop condition at this intersection.
Therefore, we are requesting that an ordinance be prepared for the City Council to approve
the installation of Stop signs on Gattis School Road at the intersection with South Creek
Drive.
Staff recommends Council approval of this ordinance.
