NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETINGS:

Welcome to the Apple Valley Traffic Safety Advisory Committee meeting. The Committee is a forum to hear citizen concerns
regarding traffic and parking on City streets, as well as pedestrian and bicycle safety issues. The Committee also evaluates
proposals for traffic control devices, signage, and striping and considers citywide traffic education and communication
programs. The Committee encourages residents to bring their concerns forward and appreciates your efforts to help make our
City a safer community. Specific traffic solutions may also have unintended and potentially dangerous consequences as there
are often engineering and liability issues involved with traffic controls and roadway designs to consider. When evaluating
resident concerns, the Committee follows a process that looks broadly at multiple possible solutions and utilizes the City's
engineering resources to help determine the most appropriate solution for identified problems: 1) The concern is received. 2)
Options are identified to address the concern. 3) Additional analysis of the options to determine engineering, legal liability, and
financial constraints or issues may be necessary. 4) A recommendation is made. We appreciate your participation in exploring
the most appropriate solution for the problem in your area.

Mr. Anderson said staff conducted the traffic counts. Traffic patterns may
have shifted due to restrictions added to the intersection of Embry Way and
County Road 42. While the counts were not high, the higher volume was on
eastbound 149th as opposed to north-south on Echo Way. Mr. Anderson

installation of yield signs at the nine intersections. Motion passed 6-0.

and street striping to clarify the one-way traffic directions for traffic exiting
the site. He also recommended the private property owner consider additional
signage and striping within the site.
MOTION: Ms. Dolan moved, second by Mr. Zimmerman, to recommend
installation of the signage. Motion passed 6-0.
