BACKGROUND:
The City has received multiple requests to investigate the establishment of an all-way stop at the intersection of Fairway Drive and Country Club Boulevard. Presently, the intersection is controlled by a two-way stop, with County Club Boulevard stopping for Fairway Drive.

Fairway Drive and Country Club Boulevard are both classified as a collector roadway according to the City's Master Thoroughfare Plan. A collector roadway is defined by municipal code as a street that connects the local and neighborhood connector streets to the arterial roads. The installation of an all-way stop on two collector roadways is based upon the guidelines and standards outlined in the Federal Highway Administration's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Criteria considered in the evaluation of an all-way stop include, but are not limited to:
* Crash History
o Five or more reported crashes in a 12-month period that are susceptible to correction by a multi-way stop installation.
* Volumes
o Major Street: at least 300 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average day
o Minor Street: at least 200 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average day
o Combined vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle volume...
