PRIOR TRAFFIC COMMISSION ACTION: On October 2, 2024, recommended establishing an all-way stop at the intersection of Vale Terrace Drive and Williamston Street (Vote: 5-0, Two Vacancies).
STATEMENT ON THE SUBJECT: The intersection of Vale Terrace Drive and Williamston Street serves as the primary access to the Vista Community Clinic on the north side of Vale Terrace Drive. The intersection also connects with various commercial uses including a childcare facility. The intersection experiences substantial volumes of left turns from Williamston Street onto Vale Terrace Drive, which are at times difficult to make.
Staff conducted an evaluation of the intersection using criteria such as traffic volumes, pedestrians, accident history and other conditions. Staff determined that the intersection of Vale Terrace Drive and Williamston Street meets the standards for the installation of an all-way stop. Exhibit 2 is the all-way stop evaluation of the intersection.
The adjacent properties have been notified that this proposal will be on the November 12, 2024 City Council meeting agenda. Exhibits 3 and 4 show the map of notified properties and the notice sent to the properties.
