Date: July 24, 1995
Item No. 95-345
Item/Subject: Order, Transferring Funds from the General Fund Contingency
for the Purpose of Installing a Pour -Nay Flasher at the
Intersection of Ohio and Davis
Responsible Department: City Manager
As the Council is aware, the City has taken a number of steps to improve
driver notices and warnings at the intersection of Davie and Ohio. Most
recently, the City installed rumble stripe on all four approaches to this
intersection.
Recently, however, another accident occurred at this intersection. Based on
the Police reconstruction report, it appears that the vehicle traveling on
Davie failed to atop.
The only additional step we can suggest for this intersection 1e the
Installation of a four-way flasher at the intersection with amber flash of
Ohio and red on Davie. This was discussed with the Municipal Operations
Committee which has recommended we proceed. To do so, a transfer of $5,000
from contingency will be required.
While we believe this is an appropriate next step, please be advised that we
do not believe it will completely solve the problem given that over half of
the recent accidents have occurred after traffic has stopped on Davis.
Nevertheless, we believe we should proceed.
