Resolution 5344 - Laserfiche WebLink

i. '- a WHEREAS, Traffic Engineering Staff have conducted engineering and traffic investigations, including travel time studies, traffic volume, vehicle classification studies and vehicle collision review, and find that: Madison Street is a heavily traveled street; combination dump trucks comprise the largest portion of aggregate hauling vehicles on Madison Street especially those hauling landfill- bound materials; such vehicles because of their length and bulk are incompatible with the normal and safe movement of traffic on Madison Street; and adequate routes exist that add only minimal average travel time during the day to and from the southwest Everett industrial area. As such, the Traffic Engineer finds and concludes from the engineering and traffic investigations that combination dump trucks hauling waste fill materials as well as empty combination fill trucks departing from Rinker's fill sites should generally be prohibited from Madison Street between Broadway and Glenwood Avenue; and WHEREAS, the City's Transportation Advisory Committee has reviewed the Traffic Engineering Staff's engineering and traffic investigations and the citizens complaints and concurs with the recommendation of the Traffic Engineer to prohibit certain combination dump trucks from using Madison Street between Broadway and Glenwood Avenue; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EVERETT that the following combination dump trucks are prohibited from Madison Street between Broadway and Glenwood Avenue: (1) those combination dump trucks generally traveling westbound transporting waste fill material to Rinker's fill sites at 6300 Glenwood Avenue including the site(s) abutting Sievers-Ducey Boulevard (hereinafter referred to as "fill sites"); and (2) those combination dump trucks generally traveling eastbound after having used the fill sites, even if empty. Local deliveries involving combination dump trucks transporting waste fill material, whether empty or full, traveling either to or from the fill sites will be authorized on an individual basis under the direction of the City's Traffic Engineer. The City Traffic Engineer shall order and install such signs, markings and devices as are necessary to affect this change. The restrictions described herein shall expire on June 30, 2008. 4e-ee2 ,- -,<',Le`-'72 Counc '#erson Introd ng Resolution PASSED AND APPROVED this 4th day of June , 2003 Council President 2
