Dear Mayor Kruse and.Council Members:
As a regularuser of Mart i.ncoi t Road qj I am ak i ng you to
consider carefully the proposed three-way stop at the above
location. There is need. for speed control on Marti ncoi t.3 but I
think this n si9 is a high risk op:ti.on for the City.,l,
Normal engineering, considerations do not indicate a three -ways
stop. Thus% i+` the City installs one as a speed' control.
devices, then it opens i tse1 f tct l i abl. i ty from two sources.
A driver not familiar with, the sign will surely fail, to stop
behind a car that does. stop and cause a serious accident. He
will sue the City saying the sign. shouldn l t have been there as
it is an i t Logi c:al location.
' er who;is f ami 1. i ar with the intersection
Further, a dray �.
approIaching from the Orchard Bend side: will expect the driver'~ a,
corm ng down hill. to stop. If that driver is unfamiliar and
does not g- he will. once again say that, the sign should not have
been there and design criteria will be on his side. t:
If stop signs are to be used as speed control devices there is
no end` to places- that we can use them. For example would' a
p
three-way_ stop work to slow down Espol a Road traffic -at the
High School`
I urge you to use alternative speed control means; a flashing
warning, l l ght $, better signage and a high level of enforcement.

Very truly yours
