CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 2, 1999 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL: HENRY GARCIA, CITY MANAG FROM: JOHN C. HUTTON, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR SUBJECT: APPROVE RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 2119, TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL THROUGH STREETS AND STOP INTERSECTIONS, GLENWOOD APPROACHING WESTWOOD DATE: October 20, 1999 BACKGROUND: The intersection of Glennwood Street and Westwood Street is an uncontrolled intersection. A request to install a stop sign on the south leg has been presented to the Traffic Safety Committee. The accident history for this intersection shows no accidents during the last two years. The State of California Traffic Manual Policy for the installation of multi -way stop signs specifies an accident history of five accidents of the type correctable by a stop sign in one year. Traffic volume data was not available. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: This recommendation is based upon the following concern: • The curvilinear geometrics of this intersection may cause confusion as to which approach has the right of way over another approach. The installation of a stop sign on the entering street will help to clarify this confusion. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost of the installation of 1 sign is fifty dollars, ($50.00) from account number 249- 6900-6 -2350. (Jo C. Hutton, Public Works Director RECOMMENDATION: If Council concurs, staff recommends adoption of the attached resolution amending Resolution No. 2119 to include additional through streets and stop intersections and authorize the installation of stop signs on the north and south legs of the intersection of 10`h Street and "O" Street. It is also recommended that, should the Council authorize this action, 48 inch signs be installed, and a Police Officer be assigned to monitor this intersection during the period of time required for the public to become accustomed to this modification JCH/ Page 1 Item #9
