425 Lake Avenue Blind Driveway

At a glance

Based on auto-generated captions plus the posted minutes.

What: Adam Och's request for "Blind Driveway" signage at 425 Lake Ave. North for drivers heading toward Lincoln St.
Where it stands: petition filed 3-0 on 2026-08-11; the Council accepted the file report 9-0 on 2026-08-18. A chair's order directs Transportation and Mobility to evaluate and install curve warning and advisory speed plaques ahead of the driveways.
Next: engineering study of the curve signage.

Stephen S. Rolle: the exit driveway is just before an S-curve under the I-290 overpasses, with vegetation limiting sight lines. One crash in five years (at the entering driveway). Average speed 34 mph, 85th percentile 43 mph.
"Blind driveway" is no longer an official MUTCD sign. The area sits on the border of the statutory 25 mph thickly-settled zone (see Statutory 25 MPH Speed Limit Signs).
He suggested the petitioner ask the owner to make the northern driveway (24 ft wide, better sight lines) two-way.
