Rel!ular Al!enda Item No. 14.4 -- Presentation, possible action, and discussion on
consideration of an ordinance amendinl! Chapter 10. "Traffic Code," Section UK)
of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Collel!e Station to prohibit left turn
maneuvers from Luther Street to FM 2818, and the consideration of the creation of
Section UN) of the Code of ordinances of the City of Collel!e Station to prohibit u-
turn at the end of he proposed median which will extend throul!h the FM 2818 and
Luther Street intersection.
Assistant City Engineer Troy Rother remarked that City staff met with representatives
from TxDOT to discuss ways to improve safety at this location. It was determined that a
median to restrict left turns was the most desirable alternative to improve safety. The
short term solution, which was installed in late December 2005, included the installation
of a temporary median, a left turn prohibition from Luther Street into FM 2818, and a u-
turn prohibition at the ends of the temporary median. The u-turn prohibition will prevent
motorists from attempting a u-turn maneuver at the ends of the median where it is unsafe.
The long-term solution, which should be installed within the year, includes the
installation of a permanent raised median through this intersection by TxDOT in
conjunction with the city installing a signal at the intersection ofFM 2818 and Holleman
Drive. This median would not prevent left turn movements from northbound FM 2818
into TAMU Poultry Science Center. Additionally, the left turn and u-turn prohibitions
adopted as part of the short-term solution would remain in place and continue to be
enforced.
