Approval of July 10, 2024 Minutes MOTION: Mr. Grawe moved, second by Mr. McKenzie, to approve the Minutes of July 10, 2024. Motion passed 5-0. 5A. Request for Stop Sign at Hamburg & Pennock Avenue Mr. Acosta said there is not currently a stop at the intersection with Pennock Avenue, which is a minor collector. Stop signs are typically installed at intersections of local roads with collector roadways. Such signage is consistent with other intersections in that neighborhood. MOTION: Mr. Grawe moved, second by Mr. McKenzie, to recommend installation of the stop sign. Motion passed 5-0. 5B. Request for`Blind Driveway" Sign at 15029 Dundee Avenue Mr. Acosta said the house is very close in proximity to the intersection of Dundee Avenue with County Road 42. There is no sign type in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Devices warranted by the conditions at this location. There is no Blind Driveway signage in the manual. The conditions do not meet the criteria of a Hidden Entrance. The Committee noted that the median extension from County Road 42 likely makes backing out of the driveway difficult. MOTION: Mr. Grawe moved, second by Mr. McKenzie, to recommend denying the request for the sign as it does not conform with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Devices, but to work with the County to address the issues with the median. Motion passed 5-0. 5C. Driver Feedback Results Mr. Acosta provided data from several locations with the driver feedback signs. Fernando Avenue had 851h percentile speeds of 26.35 and 24.05 miles per hour, below the 30 mile per hour limit.
