Item 6
Meeting Date 2-26-80
ITEM TITLE: Resolution /~~17 Establishing stop signs on Monserate
Avenue, Sandstone Court, Slate Street, Talus Street,
Turquoise Court, Topaz Court and Tourmaline Court
SUBMITTED BY: City Engineer ~~~/ (4/5ths Vote: Yes_ Ncpc )
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt resolution establishing stop signs.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Safety Commission voted 5-0 on February 13, 1980, to recommend that
these trial traffic regulations be made permanent.
DISCUSSION:
The following trial traffic regulations have been in effect for eight
months:
SCHEDULE II -SPECIAL STOPS REQUIRED
INTERSECTION
TRAFFIC STOPPED ON
SIGNS
Monserate Ave/Palomar St Monserate Ave. 2
Melrose Ave/Sandstone Ct Sandstone Ct. 1
Melrose Ave/Slate St Slate St. 2
Melrose Ave/Talus St Talus St. 1
Melrose Ave/Turquoise Ct Turquoise Ct. 1
Melrose Ave/Topaz Ct Topaz Ct. 1
Melrose Ave/Tourmaline Ct Tourmaline Ct. 1
The stop signs were installed on Monserate Avenue at Palomar Street
based on the changing nature of the intersecting streets. Palomar
Street is a east-west collector street carrying more traffic than
Monserate Avenue, which ends some 1,700 feet south of the intersection.
The stop signs were installed on all intersecting streets with Melrose
Avenue between E. Orange Avenue and Otay Valley Road. It is necessary
to positively assign right-of-way at these intersections based on the
increasing traffic volumes on Melrose Avenue and limited sight distance
at some locations.
The stop signs are functioning as intended and it is recommended that
these trial traffic regulations be made permanent.
FISCAL IMPACT: None
