Agenda Item # 10.C.

TITLE:  Resolution No. 2161- Installing Stop Signs at W Joseph Ave and E Oregon Ave 
Subject

Installing two new stop signs at each intersections of E. Oregon Ave & NE 6th St, and at W Joseph Ave & SW 10th St, bringing both up to 4-way stops.  

 



Summary and Background

Joseph/10th- Since 2015 there have been 44 new homes built/placed in this area, this total does not include any of the Wolf Run subdivision going in south of Gettman Rd, mostly because they would probably use 11th or 9th Street, however this may change during the school year.

 

Oregon/6th- Since 2013 there have been approximately 80 new housing units built in this area (that does not include the Manufactured Homes placed in the park West of 4th, because they can’t access 4th).  The town homes still have about 16 units left to build in their current phase, and the single family area of Cimmaron Terrace hasn’t even started generating trips yet, so all 33 single family homes in their current phase are still on the way.  I think it’s pretty obvious that the Cimmaron Terrace folks are using Oregon to access NE 4th. This intersection has also received a safety complaint as well.



Tie-In to Council Goals:

 

Goal 5- invest in Hermiston's transportation infrastructure to meet growth demands and improve overall traffic flow.



Fiscal Information

Installation and materials will have a financial impact of approximately $600.00.
