MEMORANDUM

Igor Zahynacz DATE: June 15, 1992
City Engineer

FROM: Anne T. Pynenburg PROJECT: No.444
Project Technician

SUBJECT: LANE MARKING ON SHAUGHNESSY AT PITT RIVER RD.

RECOMMENDATION:

Install 1 "No Right Turn on Red” sign (RB 17) at the intersection of Pitt River Rd. and
Shaughnessy street as an indicator for Pitt River Rd. westbound traffic at a cost of $100.00.

BACKGROUND & COMMENTS:

Alderman Keryhuk has noted that there is a problem at the intersection of Shaughnessy St and
Pitt River Rd. The problem is that cars Waiting to tum right from Pitt River Rd. onto
Shaughnessy St. are failing to yield to the eastbound traffic making left-hand tums from Pitt
River Rd. onto Shaughnessy.(See map) This traffic flow is generated by an Advance Green light
that legally has the right-of-way. The result of this confusion js possible accidents.

There is also a portion of the east curb painted yellow to prevent parking along this section of

road.

SOLUTIONS:

The following options will alleviate the problem. However, it should be noted that this
intersection is scheduled for reconstruction/upgrading in 1993. At that time all factors will be
considered. in the design of the intersection. The suggestions listed in Option 1 could be
considered at that time.

Line painting may also be included in several other projects scheduled for the next few months.
This will make the cost of line painting less when combined with other City projects.
