COUNCIL MEETING <br />J iI'1 24 1f:,5 <br />z :°� �� r " ,". a <br />TO: Mayor and City Council >1 ' i k1c <br />FROM: Mark Bernhardson(A) <br />DATE: June 20, 1985 <br />SUBJECT: Casco Point Road Traffic Study <br />In attempting to further understand the problem that exists at <br />the intersection of Dunwoody and Casco Point we have had staff <br />review problems and locations together with doing speed .jnd <br />traffic surveys in that area. Nominal traffic speed does not <br />appear to be the problem as evidenced in the attached survey of <br />speeds however a primary problem exists in relationship to speed <br />when northeast bound Casco traffic makes a left turn to northwest <br />bound Dunwoody. Because of the configuration of the intersection <br />there, it permits a high speed turn because of the wideness of <br />Dunwoody. This high speed turn could have a direct impact on the <br />Nafl.is property. In discussions with our Engineer and Public <br />Works Coordinator our first recommendation is through stripping <br />to reconfigure the intersection in an effort to make the high <br />speed turning movement difficult. If it appears that this <br />solution is successful through stripping we then intend to make <br />it a permanent change in the intersection. <br />If in the future additional problems become evident or identified <br />or if the solution as presently recommended does not adequately <br />address the problem we will then look to undertake other measures <br />which may include signing, additional stripping or if appropriate <br />installation of a stop sign. <br />Please refer to the attached sketch as to the approximate way in <br />which the intersection would be reconfigured initially with the <br />stripping. As the recommended solution does not include <br />installation of a stop sign and is at present only a "study" <br />solution it may not be necessary at this point to hold a public <br />hearing to address it, however should you desire that we would be <br />happy to so establish for July 8th. <br />Should you have any further comments please feel free to contact <br />me. <br />(Please note the rollover accident that occurred on June 8th on <br />Casco Point Road was about 3.4 of a mile away from this <br />intersection and any traffic control alternation at this <br />intersection would probably not have had an impact.) <br />
