Approval of Agenda MOTION: Mr. Grawe moved, second by Ms. Dolan, to approve the agenda as presented. Motion passed 6-0. 3. Audience Items There were no audience items. 4. Approval of January 10, 2024 Minutes MOTION: Mr. Dahlstrom moved, second by Mr. Saam, to approve the Minutes of January 10, 2024. Motion passed 6-0. 5A. Request for Do Not Block Intersection Signage on Hayes Road Mr. Acosta gave a brief review of the traffic on Hayes Road north of 1451h Street by the Apple Valley High School. The issue stems from stacked vehicles attempting to turn into the High School Parking lot in the morning. The stacked vehicles make it very difficult for vehicles on 143rd Street to turn either left or right and difficult for vehicles on 1441h Street to run left. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices allows for Do Not Block Intersection signage, but such signage is generally intended for situations where blockages are occurring throughout the day, not just one or two brief periods. MOTION: Ms. Dolan moved, second by Mr. Grawe, to recommend installation of the proposed signage to allow the right-turn southbound movement from 143rd Street and to allow the left-turn northbound movement from 1441h Street. Motion passed 6-0. 6A.Other Traffic Concerns Communicated to the City of Apple Valley Police Concerns Mr. Dahlstrom said the Police Department applied for a grant for a distracted driver enforcement vehicle. Public Works Concerns Mr. Anderson said the City is working on a traffic safety grant. Mr. Anderson said driver awareness feedback signs will be deployed on Havelock Trail in the near future. Mr. Anderson said feedback signs will also be deployed on Flagstaff and 157Ih. Mr. Anderson said wrong way driving continues to be an issue on Founders Lane. 6B.Educational Issues Ms. Dolan gave an update on upcoming seminars and workshops on traffic safety. 7. Adjourn MOTION: Mr. Grawe moved, second by Mr. McKenzie, to adjourn. Motion passed 6-0. Meeting was adjourned at 7:28 p.m. May 9, 2024 (revised) I'm requesting a new sign, "School Bus Stop Ahead" be added to eastbound westbe 140th St. W. somewhere between Galaxie Ave and Fountain Ave to control school bus pickups at 140th and Fountain Ct. At least three school buses stop at 140th St. W. and Fountain Ct. heading westbound mod. Vehicles following the bus tend to stop when our red lights and stop arm are activated. Vehicles traveling eastbound rarely stop yet they are required by law to do so. Those that do stop tend to risk being hit from behind since most folks don't stop. 6:xx am — (high school pickup) 7:51 am — Bus 276 (middle school pickup) 9:05am — Bus 352 (elementary school pickup) 2:30pm - HS dropoff 3:30pm — Bus 276 (middle school pickup) 4:15pm — Bus 352 (elementary school pickup) Thank you for considering this change.
