Recommendation
This item was brought to B & G by the Public Works Department and the PD Parking agents.  The section of W. St. Paul from S. Moreland to Washington has many parked cars during the day and most are for the GE plant.  When drivers leave the parking spots, parking agents have often seen them do a U-Turn in the middle of the street and in front of oncoming traffic.  W. St. Paul is not all that wide and U-turning can cause a potential crash safety issue.  Installing the No U-Turn signs will encourage drivers to go around the block and make safer maneuvers.  Signs will be field located at the time of installation and ar expected to cost $200.  Staff recommends installation of these signs.
Recommended Motion:  Move to approve installation of 6 "No U-Turn" signs on W. St. Paul Avenue between S. Moreland Blvd. and Washington Street placed at three locations on the eastbound direction and three locations on the westbound direction.
