Description: Street Maintenance Finance: Council Notes: Agenda Item No. 17 '1/7/bY CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION C STAFF REPORT Subject: Authorization to establish a 4-way stop at the intersection of Rialto Avenue and Meridian Avenue. Background: The Traffic Engineering Section of the Development Services Department has evaluated the intersection of Rialto Avenue and Meridian Avenue to determine the need for a traffic signal. Currently, the intersection is controlled by a 2-way stop for north and southbound traffic on Meridian Avenue. Traffic volumes on Rialto Avenue can, at times, make it difficult to cross or enter from Meridian A venue. At the conclusion of the evaluation, it was determined the warrants for a traffic signal were met. Staff recommends installation of a 4-way stop at this location until a traffic signal can be designed and installed. This action is consistent with the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, which allows the installation of multi-way stop controls as an interim measure until a traffic signal is constructed. Staff, therefore, recommends that the attached Resolution be approved for establishing a 4-way stop at the intersection of Rialto A venue and Meridian Avenue as an interim measure until a traffic signal is installed. ~ \,..... The attached Resolution has been updated to reflect current field conditions, including stop signs that were approved under other resolutions. Financial Impact: The estimated cost of $2,000 for installing the new stop signs will come from Account No. 001- 402-5111 (Street Maintenance). Recommendation: Adopt Resolution.
