Backeround: The Traffic Engineering Section received a request to install a 4-way stop at the intersection of Marshall Boulevard and Arden A venue. The request was received from a citizen that lives in this area. The north side of the intersection is within the jurisdiction of the County of San Bernardino. The requestor is concerned that several accidents have occurred within the last several months and feels that a 4-way stop will alleviate this situation. The Traffic Engineering Section of Development Services evaluated the request. The intersection is located in a predominantly residential area. However, both Marshall Boulevard and Arden A venue are classified as Major Arterial streets in the City's General Plan. There is a nearby church and a school. The intersection is currently controlled by a two-way stop for east and westbound traffic. There are two cross-gutter dips within the intersection and advanced "DIP" warning signs with 10 m.p.h. advisory signs. However, deep gouge marks were observed on the roadway at the dips. The following are the volumes on the approaches to the intersection: Northbound 1,520 Eastbound 548 Southbound 1.019 Westbound 705 Totals 2,539 1,253 There have been no recorded accidents at the intersection from January I, 1998 through December 31, 2000 (3 years). The Traffic Safety Committee evaluated this issue. Although the intersection does not meet Federal/State warrants for a 4-way stop, the Committee recommended that it be installed to improve overall safety at this intersection. The Committee felt that there is an obvious driver perception that north and southbound traffic stop. Staff feels that this is mainly due to the cross-gutters that currently exist across the north and south legs of the intersection. North and southbound traffic are forced to slow down significantly to a near stop. Additionally, the deep gouge marks that were observed at the gutters indicate that some motorists are not handling the dips very well. Additional stop signs for north and southbound traffic should help mitigate this situation. The County's Traffic Engineering Division has been contacted relative to this issue. The County concurs with the findings and reconunendations of City Staff and will seek approval from the Board of Supervisors to establish a 4-way stop at this intersection. The City will install the proposed stop sign for northbound traffic and the County will install the stop sign for southbound traffic. The time of their installation will be coordinated so that both stop signs are installed at the same time. The attached Resolution contains several corrections as follows: Resolution No. 655 is being brought up to date to reflect current field conditions for both Arden Avenue and Marshall Boulevard. The existing stop signs on Arden Avenue were either installed under Resolution 2482 (Stop Intersections) or while these roads were still under the jurisdiction of the County. The same is true for Marshall Boulevard with one exception. There is currently a "blanket" resolution in effect that legally allows the installation. of stop signs on all streets approaching Marshall Boulevard. This resulted in the installation of stop signs on Rockford and Belvedere Avenue's approaches to Marshall Boulevard. Approval of the proposed Resolution would include these stop signs under Resolution No. 655. Financial Impact: The estimated cost of $ 400.00 for installing the new stop signs will come from Account No. 001- 187-5111 (Signing and Striping Materials) Recommendation: Adopt Resolution.
