Title
Substitute resolution relating to the installation of a left-turn traffic signal at the intersection of North 107th Street and West Good Hope Road.
Analysis
This resolution directs the Department of Public Works to install a left-turn signal for northbound North 107th Street traffic turning left onto westbound West Good Hope Road. It further directs the Department to program the traffic signals at this intersection such that the left-turn signal for northbound 107th Street traffic is in operation only between 6:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. This left-turn signal shall be in operation for a 3-year trial period.

Whereas, A left-turn signal for northbound 107th Street traffic turning left onto westbound Good Hope Road would improve safety for motorists using this intersection; now, therefore, be it

Further Resolved, That the Department of Public Works is further directed to program the traffic signals at this intersection such that the left-turn signal for northbound 107th Street traffic is in operation only between 6:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00...
