R-41-02 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF COLTON REMOVING CERTAIN PORTIONS OF OLIVE STREET AS A DESIGNATED THROUGH STREET AND ORDERING THE PLACEMENT OF CERTAIN STOP SIGNS THEREON WHEREAS, Vehicle Code section 21354 authorizes a local authority to designate any highway under its jurisdiction as a through street, to designate any intersection as a stop intersection, and to erect stop signs at one or more entrances thereto; and WHEREAS, Vehicle Code section 385 defines a "local authority" as the legislative body of a city; and WHEREAS, Vehicle Code section 21101 authorizes the City Council of the City of Colton to designate, by resolution, highways as through streets and intersections and stop intersections; and WHEREAS, there is substantial evidence upon which the City Council may reasonably adopt the stop sign design provided for in this Resolution, including the fact that the subject intersection is near an elementary school and the City desires to provide every precaution against injuries to minors traveling to and from the elementary school; and WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the plans for the proposed intersection and has determined that the proposed stop sign is the best way, given the City's resources, to provide protection for the elementary school students, parents and staff coming to or from the school.
