ST9704-CS 980414 (2)OPTIONS for HIGH SCHOOL TRAFFIC
Traffic Light at Cowboy/Parkway
$85,000 / Cost
a. Allow traffic to safely enter and exit school site
b. Could impact Denton Tap/Parkway intersection (stops westbound Parkway
to allow eastbound Parkway movement and to allow vehicles to turn west
(left) to exit school) will require synchronization
c. Could cause delay leaving school to the West
d. Only needed 2-4 hours a day and special events
Police Officer directing traffic at Cowboy/Parkway
180 days 4 hrs/day $25/hr / Cost
$18 - $20,000/per year
a. Difficult to get someone to consistently work
b. Major fire/accident etc. could pull officer away from intersection. If people
are use to it, it could confuse them if he/she is not there
c. Could effectively move traffic
Three-way Stop Sign
Inexpensive
a. Would disrupt traffic 24-hours a day when only needed 2-4 hours
b. Could cause vehicles to back-up into Denton Tap/Parkway intersection as
they wait their turn at stop sign
Open up access along Oak Trail to Sandy Lake
a. Narrow roadway - additional traffic could lead to more rapid deterioration
of street
b. Prior commitment not to use? (Cannot locate documentation of this)
c. Eastbound vehicle stopped on Sandy Lake to turn on Oak Trail would stop
all eastbound Sandy Lake traffic. May need to restrict to no left turns 7:30
a.m. - 8:30 a.m.

morning traffic
