COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item 11
Meeting Date 1/26/88
ITEM TITLE: Resolution/~ ~~~ Affirming the Trial Traffic Regulations
installing our-way stops at First Avenue/"G" Street
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works ~~
REVIEWED BY: City Manage (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.12.030 of the Chula Vista Municipal
Code adopted by Ordinance No. 1625 on May 27, 1975, a trial traffic regulation
was instituted installing four-way stops at the intersection of First
Avenue/"G" Street on May 8, 1987. This regulation has been in effect and
functioning as expected for eight months.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt this resolution to make this trial
traffic regulation permanent.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
• On May 8, 1987, a trial traffic regulation (attached) was established for
four-way stops at the intersection of First Avenue and "G" Street.
An investigation of the location showed that five reported accidents occurred
at this intersection during the calendar year 1986. All of these accidents
were of a type susceptible to correction by the installation of a four-way
stop. This accident history, combined with other existing conditions at this
intersection, caused this location to meet the City's established warrants for
the installation of a four-way stop. Since its installation, through December
3U, 1987, there have been no reported accidents at this intersection.
According to Section 10.12.030 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, a trial
traffic regulation ceases to be effective if a resolution embodying that
regulation, or any part of it, is not approved after the eight month trial
period. Therefore, it is staff' s recommendation that this Trial Traffic
Regulation be made permanent by the adoption of this resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
