Description: Signing & Striping Materials Finance: Council Notes: RH;6-!L.::J~- IG;L (p 117 /IJ:J- , , Agenda Item No.11- CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT Subject: Authorization to establish a 3-Way Stop at the intersection of Meridian Avenue and Poplar Street. Back2round: Engineering Staff attended a neighborhood meeting where the residents expressed concern relative to traffic/school pedestrian safety at the intersection of Meridian Avenue and Poplar Street. Kelly Elementary School is located on the northwest corner of the intersection. The possibility of installing a 3-way stop at this intersection was discussed at this meeting. Staff advised the residents that this request would be evaluated in accordance with City's Administrative Policy for Stop Sign Installation. The first step in this process, is to circulate a petition requesting the three- way stop. A petition was prepared by staff, circulated by the requestors, and signed by residents in the vicinity of the intersection. The Traffic Engineering Section of Development Services evaluated the request. Poplar Street is classified as a local residential street, and Meridian A venue is classified as a collector, however, in the vicinity of Poplar Street, Meridian A venue functions as a local residential street. This is due to the fact that the road dead-ends approximately two blocks north of Poplar Street. Pursuant to the evaluation, staff has determined that this intersection meets Warrant "B" of the Administrative Policy (see attachment). This warrant is satisfied when sixty (60) percent of the residents located within six-hundred (600) feet of the proposed stop sign, sign a petition agreeing to its installation, and two other criteria are met. In this case criteria B-1 and B-9 are met. Part B-1 of the warrant is met when a school is located within 600 feet of the intersection and the intersection is on the "Suggested Route to School". Part B-9 is met when one approach to the intersection is a driveway serving a residential property. Since this intersection meets Warrant "B" of the Administrative Policy for Installation of Stop Signs, staff recommends the installation of a 3-way stop at the intersection of Meridian Avenue and Poplar Street. The attached Resolution contains several corrections as follows: Resolution No. 655 is being brought up to date to reflect current field conditions for Meridian A venue. The existing 'stop signs on Meridian Avenue were installed under Resolution 2482 (Stop Intersections). For consistency, it is recommended that they be included in this Resolution. Financial Impact: The estimated cost of $ 500.00 for installing the new stop signs will come from Account No. 001- 187-5111 (Signing and Striping Materials) Recommendation: Adopt Resolution. CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM FROM: Mayor Judith Valles and Common Council Henry Empefio, Jr., Deputy City Attorney ~ TO: DATE: June 14,2002 RE: Agenda Item No. 11 June 17,2002 Council Meeting Resolution Amending Resolution No. 655 and Establishing a Three Way Stop at the Intersection of Meridian Avenue and Poplar Street. Resolution No. 655, Subsection 9.7 MERIDIAN AVENUE, is proposed to be amended by adding the following intersections to reflect existing stop signs on Meridian A venue as well as the new stop signs at its intersection with Poplar Street (added intersections shown in bold print): "(9.7) MERIDIAN AVENUE (A) From and including Randall Avenue to and Including Birch Street. (B) At its intersection with Randall Avenue (4-Way Stop). (C) At its intersection with Poplar Street (3-Way Stop). (D) At its intersection with Birch Street (3-Way Stop). (E) From Rialto Avenue to and including Ninth Street). (F) At its intersection with 6th Street (4- W ay Stop). (G) At its intersection with Etiwanda Avenue (4-Way Stop)."
