City to install stop sign. Will not install street name sign for driveway. Emailed constituent.
Other: Our street has no street sign (or stop sign). I live in Winslow Crossing and we don't have a sign at the intersection of Henderson & S Walnut St Pike (nor do we have a stop sign leaving our neighborhood) and it has resulted in a lot of confusion in the slightly more than year I have lived here since I purchased 2851 S Walnut Street Pike. Included are friends/family being unable to locate the address (we have no neighborhood sign and my HOA when I contacted them is in no hurry to get one), when I called for a non-emergency police issue he couldn't find the neighborhood, packages have nearly been sent back or just plain delivered to the wrong address because my address "doesn't exist" (because they can't find it). So I'm wondering what it would take to get a street name sign and hopefully also a stop sign, installed at the main intersection to help with the confusion. Please let me know if there's anything I can do about this because it's becoming quite frustrating! Thank you, Denise J. Humphries

Hi Denise, thank you for submitting this uReport regarding street name signs and stop signs at this intersection. The City wouldn't typically install a stop sign for a private driveway. However, we do think it may be beneficial to have a stop sign here and I'm checking with our sign crews to see if it will be possible to install one (I expect we will be able to). I understand the street names can be a bit confusing here. Even Google Maps (see image below) appears to think your private driveway is Walnut St Pike. To be clear, I've outlined the actual Walnut St Pike below in red. I believe the most beneficial clarification of your address may be some sort of sign installed by the property owner (mounted on private property, potentially on a building). At this point, the City does not intend to install additional street name signs beyond the existing sign in the northwest corner of the intersection. Please let me know if you need any information about the City's regulation of private signs and I can put you in touch with an appropriate staff member. Thanks again and please feel free to follow up with further questions,
Since she wanted a stop sign and street marker sign, I thought I would reassign it to you first for the determination on the stop sign. Also, I am not sure a street marker sign is warranted when one of the streets is a private street.
