ITEM TITLE Resolution 9086 Adopting a Council Policy for the
Installation of Pedestrian Cross-
walks
SUBMITTED BY Director of Public Works/City Engineer ~,,)
ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES NO x )
During the past few years, the staff has received many requests
for the installation of pedestrian crosswalks throughout the
City. Each request was evaluated by staff on an individual
basis without the aid of a formal policy or system of warrants.
Adoption of such a policy will create a uniform analysis for each
proposed location.
Staff is recommending that the attached Policy for the Installa-
tion of Pedestrian Crosswalks be used to evaluate requests for
crosswalks. These policy and warrants are essentially the same
as used by the City of San Diego and will allow staff to evalu-
ate locations for potential crosswalks against an established
set of standards and criteria.
As with other warrant systems presently being used by the City
(for traffic signals and stop signs), it is intended to use the
policy and warrants as guidelines for the installation of cross-
walks and not as a strict set of standards which must be satis-
fied in order for a crosswalk to be installed.
The attached policy discusses the advantages and disadvantages
of installing marked crosswalks. The purpose of the policy is
to provide a means of evaluating the locations for the installa-
tion of crosswalks in weighing items such as safety, convenience
and traffic progression.
