Luke Wochensky, Mayor Village of East Aurora All-Way Stop Third Party Review: Pine Street & Girard Avenue Intersection September 24, 2026 Page 8 2. Vehicles turning southbound onto Pine Street from Girard Avenue are not able to complete their turning movement without utilizing the northbound through lane of Pine Street. This turning movement would be in conflict with northbound queued vehicles should all-way stop control be implemented. The northbound stop bar would need to be located substantially back from the intersection to resolve this conflict. Section 4: Analysis Results & Recommendations Summarizing the results of this analysis: 1. An all-way stop warrant analysis has been performed by Erie County in accordance with the MUTCD. a. Of the warrants evaluated, only the sight distance warrant (Warrant B) was satisfied. 2. A SimTraffic queueing analysis was performed. a. Under proposed conditions, southbound queues would conflict with the intersection of Lawrence Avenue. 3. An AutoTURN vehicle turning template analysis was performed a. Conflicts with vehicles queued on Pine Street under proposed all-way stop conditions were observed. Although the study intersection is noted to have a non-standard intersection sight distance for eastbound passenger vehicles stopped at the stop bar, there is no pattern of crashes associated with the non-standard feature. Furthermore, implementing all-way stop control at the study intersection would create operational conflicts with the offset intersection of Lawrence Avenue as well as create conflicts with vehicles and traffic queued on Pine Street. The existing intersection geometry would need to be modified to accommodate these turning vehicles under proposed all-way stop conditions which may result in utility or right-of-way impacts. Based on this rationale, implementing all-way stop control at the intersection of Pine Street and Girard Avenue is not recommended at this time. _______________________________________ ___ 9/24/2026 ____ Alexander S.
