CITY OF COLTON p <br />AGENDA REPORT ,�cerRurarea Z <br />1887 <br />For Council Meeting of FEBRUARY 15, 1994 a ' foto`' <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />SUBJECT: <br />'t <br />HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL <br />DATE: February 8, 1994 <br />JOHN HUTTON <br />Public Works Director <br />RECOMMENDATION BY TRAFFIC COMMITTEE FOR AUTHORIZATION TO PLACE STOP <br />SIGNS ON SAN BERNARDINO AVENUE AT INDIGO AVENUE <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Residents of the West Valley Park area submitted a request to the cities <br />Traffic Committee to investigate the possibility of installing stop signs on <br />San Bernardino Avenue. This location is conducive to pedestrian traffic <br />crossing to the West Valley Park from the residential developments to the <br />north. <br />The Traffic Committee reviewed two possible locations, Eucalyptus Avenue (a <br />Tee intersection) and. Indigo Avenue (a four way intersection), both <br />intersecting San Bernardino Avenue, one to the east and one to the west of <br />the park. <br />It was determined by the Traffic Committee that increased traffic generated <br />by the opening of the newly constructed county facility on Indigo Avenue <br />would generate additional traffic volumes at its intersection with San <br />Bernardino Avenue. Additionally, this location provided better visibility of <br />pedestrians crossing at this intersection by approaching vehicles. <br />DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONS: <br />The Traffic Committee is basing its recommendation on several safety factors <br />as follows: <br />1. Best visibility at intersection by approaching vehicles <br />2. A four way intersection accommodating cross traffic from both north <br />and south side streets <br />3. Existing street lighting at the intersection on both north and <br />south sides. <br />4. Most central location between major intersections, accommodating <br />both pedestrian traffic to the park and business center area. <br />
