STAFF REPORT
Traffic studies indicate that the existing traffic signals at
3rd Street and Mt. View Avenue are no longer needed. Mt. View
Avenue. between 3rd and 4th Streets. has been vacated to the
County. and the County office has subsequently converted Mt.
View Avenue at 3rd Street to a one-way street accommodating
entrance traffic only. The south leg of the intersection
serves the Caltrans, District 8 office. Field investigation
shows that there are approximately 380 vehicles exiting the
Cal trans driveway during a typical weekday which is far below
the minimum requirements for traffic signals. Additionally.
the existing traffic signals are fixed-time type and not
responsive to the traffic flow. which has resul ted in delays
and inconvenience to the general public. especially during
evening hours and weekends when downtown businesses are closed.
The removal of the traffic signals will provide an annual cost
savings of $3.500.00 for energy and maintenance.
This item was discussed at the September 18th, 1985. Mayor's
Traffic Safety Committee and the recommendation to remove the
existing traffic signals at 3rd Street and Mt. View has been
unanimously approved.
