Title: Approve installation of a railroad low bridge clearance sign on northbound Dunbar Avenue 40 feet north of Marshall Street.
Sponsors: Roger Patton
Attachments: 1. Item 15-2487 Admin Review Low Clearance Sign Dunbar Ave
Recommendation
Staff has reviewed this request and decided that only one sign needs to be installed on Dunbar Avenue just south of the railroad bridge.  This would be a warning sign for truck drivers indicating the low bridge clearance.  There is other existing advance signing provided on Dunbar Avenue north and south of the railroad tracks that gives notice to the low bridge clearance.  Installation of this sign is expected to cost $90.00
It is intended, when Dunbar Avenue is reconstructed in the future, that the warning sign in this location will be upgraded with a flashing beacon like the warning sign on the north side of bridge.
Recommended Motion:  Move to approve installation of a railroad low bridge clearance sign on northbound Dunbar Avenue 40 feet north of Marshall Street.
