DPW - Engineering Division
A. Issue
Poor lines of sight exist at the intersection.
B. Background/Options
The Harwood Avenue and Glenview Avenue/Glenview Place intersection is actually two offset intersections operating under traffic signal control. Staff has received complaints about the ability of southbound motorists from Glenview Place to safely see eastbound pedestrians crossing Glenview Place and vice versa. Staff is working with the property owner to cut back corner shrubs to aid with visibility. Additional measures are required.
Eastbound right-turns on red are already prohibited due to the intersection geometry. Staff is recommending that 11.28.035 (10) be revised to include no right turns on red from the southbound approach at the intersection of Harwood and Glenview Avenues.
C. Strategic Plan (Area of Focus)
Priority 2: Public Safety, Goal 2. Proactively address pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular safety.
D. Fiscal Impact
Minor expenses for the in-house creation and installation of signs. The existing sign budget will
accommodate these expenses.
E. Recommendation
Direct staff to prepare a resolution to additionally prohibit right turns on red on the southbound approach at Harwood and Glenview Avenues.
Approximate Location of Recommended Right Turn on Red Prohibition
Harwood Avenue & Glenview Avenue/Glenview Place
