I have investigated the warrants to install multi -way stop signs at the intersection of
Ledochowski Street and Schultz Street. Currently, Ledochowski Street is stop controlled
with Schultz Street being free -flow.
A sight distance deficiency currently exists for southbound vehicles on Ledochowski
Street looking to the west (right). In order for the southbound vehicle to see around the
existing tree (on private property), the vehicle must encroach into the westbound lane.
This encroachment does not provide for a safe intersection.
Therefore, it is my recommendation that stop signs be installed on Schultz Street at
Ledochowski Street to make this intersection multi -way stop controlled.
