Recommendation

This item was brought forward by the Department of Public Works and endorsed by Ald. Eric Payne.  In 2018, the City will reconstruction Motor Avenue and Fairview Avenue.  During the design process, the City plans to realign the intersection of Greenwood Avenue at Motor Avenue and make it more perpendicular.  In 1962, a yield sign was established on westbound Motor Avenue at Greenwood.  In the proposed reconstructed condition, a yield sign on Motor does not work well for traffic control.  Instead, a stop sign on southbound Greenwood is a better  traffic control solution.  The Department of Public work recommends approval of this item to rescind the yield sign designation.
