III. OLD BUSINESS – None A. City of Flagstaff – Franklin Avenue Traffic Calming The City was contacted from residents in the area of the Franklin and O’leary intersection in late 2013. The concerns stemmed from a particular high profile vehicle crash at the intersection of Franklin and O’leary and the resident’s observation that the intersection had recently seen a dramatic increase in crashes. Staff conducted speed, volume and crash analysis studies of Franklin Avenue and it’s intersections between Lone Tree Road and San Francisco Street and found that speeds were moderate to acceptable on Franklin, but that the intersection of Franklin and O’leary had a crash rate roughly twice that of it’s peer intersections. Staff presented the results of these studies and listened to Commission and Public input in May 2014. Staff will update the Commission on the temporary measures that have been instituted and on progress towards the permanent improvements.
