Section 21 of City of Colton Resolution # 2119 lists through streets and stop intersections within the City of Colton.

Requiring southbound traffic along Holly Avenue to stop at Olive Place will improve traffic safety.

The material cost for those installations will cost approximately $600.00, those funds are available within account number 100-6150-6160-2301. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council approve the attached Resolution, authorizing the installation of traffic control devices at the locations as described within the attached resolution.
