8.2. 31ST AVENUE SW AND 10TH STREET SW SIGNAL WARRANT REVIEW (4393)
As part of the 2006 16th Street SW and 37th Avenue SW reconstruction project, a temporary span wire traffic signal was installed at the intersection of 31st Avenue SW and 10th Street SW. The initial purpose of this intersection was to aid in the detour of traffic. After the South Broadway reconstruction was completed, the neighborhood surrounding the traffic signal in question lobbied for the span wire signal to stay, even though it was unwarranted. The signal cabinet and controller are significantly outdated and were originally obtained from the City of Bismarck excess stockpile. Spare parts are difficult, if not impossible, to obtain.
In the spring of 2019, the Traffic Department conducted a signal warrant analysis for the study intersection. Based on existing traffic volumes, the intersection of 31st Avenue SW and 10th Street SW did not meet traffic signal warrants. Furthermore, this intersection is not anticipated to meet signal warrants within the next five years.
- Recommend the Council to approve the removal of the span wire traffic signal at the 31st Avenue SW and 10th Street SW intersection.
- Recommend the Council to approve an ordinance modifying the 31st Avenue SW and 10th Street SW intersection from Signal control to Two-Way Stop control. With 10th Street SW being the stop street and 31st Avenue SW being the free street.
