TB Resolution 2022 - 024: Adoption of Local Law 4of 2022amending Chapter 250 of the Town of Ithaca Code, titled “Vehicles and Traffic” by adding two stop signs at the Forest Home Drive
Arboretum Road intersection
Whereas,the Town received a request from Cornell Universityfor a crosswalk to connect an existing trail network along Beebe Lake to their Facilities on Arboretum Road, and
Whereas, after further review of the request, Town Engineering and Public Works Departments determined the request from Cornell would be a midblock cross walk on a town road that has
a functional classification of a major collector road andwould therefore be a safety concern, and
Whereas, the Departmentsproposed that the best way to mitigate the safety concerns would be to make the intersection of Forest Home Drive and Arboretum a 3-way stop intersection, and
Whereas, the proposal was discussed at the Town of Ithaca’s Public Works Committee on October 19th, 2021, and recommended it to the Town Board for approval, and
Whereas, the Town Board agreed with the recommendation and set a public hearing for February 14, 2022, on the proposed local law to enable the installation of two additional stop signs
at the intersection, which was legally advertised and held, now, therefore be it;
Resolved, that the Town Board adopts Local Law4 of 2022authorizing the placement of two newstop signson Forest Home Drive at the intersection of Forest Home Drive and Arboretum Road.
