SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In an effort to alleviate vehicle/pedestrian conflicts and expedite traffic movement at the intersections of Park & 3rd, and Lenora & 3rd, Public Works omitted crosswalk striping on
the south leg of each intersection crossing 3rd this past summer. To determine the effectiveness of this decision, effects on pedestrian safety, and whether or not the crosswalk omission
should continue, Public Works had the intersections videotaped during very busy periods during the summer. The videos will be analyzed by Public Works staff and the data regarding conflicts
and safety concerns will be provided to Kittelson & Associates for analysis. Kittelson will review the data and provide a third-party opinion and recommendations concerning whether
or not the crosswalks should be restored next summer or continue to be omitted moving forward. The findings of this evaluation will be incorporated into the final design for Park/3rd
Street intersection as part of the Downtown Core Phase 2B construction.
Kitteleson & Associates is familiar with multi-modal traffic issues in McCall, particularly these intersections. They also served as a subconsultant to Logan Simpson contributing significantly
to the development of McCall’s 2017 Transportation Master Plan.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the Professional Services Agreement with Kittelson & Associates, Inc., and authorize the mayor to sign all necessary documents.
