Resolution 082RESOLUTION NO. 9�—
WHEREAS, the intersection of Ninth Avenue South and Edmonds Way is
now all within the City limits of the City of Edmonds, and
WHEREAS, at the peak of traffic volume the traffic control at said inter-
section is inadequate and results in an extreme degree of traffic hazard, and
WHEREAS, the professional Planner of the City of Edmonds has made a
traffic count at this intersection, which count shows over seven thousand cars per
day, annual daily average traffic, and
WHEREAS, Mr. McLeod of the State Highway Department has made a
traffic count at this intersection and has verbally advised officials of the City of
Edmonds that his findings indicate justification for the installation of a traffic
control signal, and
WHEREAS, this matter had some time ago been presented to the State
Highway Department with a request for action, and
WHEREAS, since this entire intersection is a State Highway and there -
f ore under the jurisdiction of the State Highway Department, it is not deemed ad-
visable for the City of Edmonds to undertake installation of a traffic control signal,
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HERESY RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Edmonds does hereby request that Paul McKay, Engineer for the State
Highway District No. One, take immediate action to effect the installation of an
adequate traffic control signal at the intersection of Ninth Avenue South and Edmonds
Way to prevent the continuous, unnecessary traffic hazard that presently exists.
