ATTACHMENTS: Attachment A: Council Communications Packet Memo (dated May 23,2007)
Attachment B: Summary of Comments Received
Attachment C: 11 x 17 Aerial mapping - Comment Origins
The previous Communications Packet Memo, dated May 23,2007, which contains
background information and back-up analysis data, is included as an attachment to this
AIS. The memo references an open house that was subsequently held on June 12,2007 at
City Hall. This AIS offers information resulting from the open house, additional traffic
information received after initial analysis, Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) Signal Warrant &
Stop Sign summaries, cost estimates, and Transportation Division's final recommendation concerning the traffic
signal system at 14th Street! 'E' Street.
DISCUSSION/
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
Open House - Information conveyed included: background on the signal's absence, staffs findings and analysis, and
staffs preliminary recommendation at that time. Staff also sought out public input and comment to determine if
issues were overlooked or needed to be readdressed prior to making a final recommendation. Twenty-four (24)
participants signed in, and approximately 40-50 people were present.
Public Comment - Comments were received from the open house, phone, email, and personal on-site
communication. Comments were separated according to those in favor of, against, and neutral to reinstallation ofthe
traffic signal. Comments were then grouped by type (Circulation & Mobility, Crossing Difficulty & Safety, and
Other comments). Attachment B contains the breakdown of these comments.
Public opinion regarding the traffic signal is as follows:
· In favor of reinstalling the traffic signal: 71 %
. In favor of not reinstalling the traffic signal: 16%
· Neutral: 13%
Additional Traffic Information Received - One additional crash report at the site was received since the initial
analysis. The crash was non-injury related and the report implied that the crash occurred due to driver inattention.
Incorporation of this additional data did not result in changes to the traffic warrant analysis.
MUTCD Signal Warrants - Of the 8 MUTCD Signal Warrants, 5 failed to meet warrant requirements, and 3 were
not applicable. A sensitivity analysis to account for future growth was done for the 5 applicable warrants and was
still found to be insufficient to meet warrant requirements. Warrant analyses are included as part of Attachment A.
Estimated Cost
· Reinstallation:
· Removal of remaining system:
$50,000 - $70,000
$10,000 - $15,000
Recommendation - Staff recommends removal of the remaining signal system. This entails removal of the signal
mast arms, 2 traffic signal poles/foundations, and the controller cabinet and pedestal. Additionally, the crosswalk
and other miscellaneous markings will be obliterated and replaced with stop bars along the minor street ('E' Street).

14th Street / E Street Traffic Signal: Open House
This memorandum is for your information. You may wish to share it with the Council by
placing it in the Council Communications Packet.
The Transportation Division staff will be holding an open house to communicate our
findings and to obtain additional public input regarding the intersection at 14th Street and
E Street. The date and location of the open house will be finalized shortly, but is
tentatively scheduled for June 5, 2007 after normal-business hours.
Background
During the winter. of 2006, high winds led to. the contact of overhead power lines and the
signal system at the intersection 0f 14th Street and E Street. Contact between the two
systems resulted in malfunction and failure of the traffic signal system.
The traffic signal heads were removed, and interim measures were taken to coordinate
traffic at this location. Interim measures included a temporary 4-way stop condition,
which was later replaced with a 2-way stop condition along the E Street corridor. The 2-
way stop condition remains in place at this time.
The Springfield Utility Board (SUB) has been approached in an effort to determine
whether funding for a replacement signal system was possible, either in part or in whole.
Due to the nature of the signal system failure (Act of Nature), SUB and their insurance
carrier determined they were not liable for the cost.
Staff has completed a signal warrant analysis at this location to determine whether
reinstallation of the traffic signal meets the criteria of the Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices (MUTCD). Additionally, staff investigated several alternatives to a
signal system. These alternatives included installation of a 4-way stop condition, a 2-
way stop condition, and various roundabout scenarios.
Preliminary recommendation and next actions
Transportation's preliminary recommendation is to leave the 2-way stop controlled
system in place and not reinstall the traffic signal system. In conjunction with this,
various components of the traffic signal would be removed. The painted crosswalk
across 14th Street would also be removed to be consistent with crosswalk striping
practices at non-si~nalized intersections.

As public input to date has been limited, the open house will be a way for staff to
disseminate information, gain additional information, and listen to public concerns.
Staff will present their findings from the technical analysis and the open house, along
with a final recommendation to Council in the near future.
Please contact Greg Kwock (736-7134) or Brian Barnett (726-3681) if you have any
questions.
