Re: Honeywell Crosswalks
On November 4, 1980 the Council authorized the installation of two cross-
walks with overhead flashers on Second Street N.E. in front of Honeywell (600
Second Street N.E.). A third crosswalk was authorized but without overhead
fl ashers.
On February 15, 1983 the Council received a petition from Honeywell to
install two pedestrian actuated traffic control slgnals on Second Street N.E.
at the east and west end of the Honeywell building. These signals would re-
place the existing flashers. The Council ordered a Police report on safety
conditions relating to the existing crosswalks.
On March 1, 1983 the Council reviewed the Police report and adopted
Resolution No. 83-3057 ordering an Engineers report on certain recommendations
contained in the Police report. This report was to concern itself with the
costs of the portion of the Police recommendations that could be done on public
right-of-way by the City.
On April 5, 1983 the Council reviewed the Engineers report. The report
was again considered at the April 19th Council meeting and the staff was in-
structed to forward a copy of the Police report and costs and request a re-
sponse from Honeywell. The following is the estimated cost summary contained
in the report:
(1) Advance warning signs and flashers
(2) Palnt Crosswalk Ahead Message
(3) Additional Crosswalk Flasher
$ ,5 ,980.00
900.00
8,625.00
$15,505.00
Enclosed is a copy of a letter dated May 17, 1983 (together with an inter-
office memo) received from Honeywell requesting the installation of two flashing
amber lights as described in the Police and Engineers report at the estimated
cost of $6,000.00.
RECOMMENDATION FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Since the only property involved in the assessment of costs is the property
owned by the petitloners, the Council could take action to order in the work re-
quested by adopting Resolution No. 83-3083, "A Resolution Ordering In The Instal-
lation of Advance ~Jarning Signs and Flashers".
