Description: Materials & Supplies Finance: Council Notes: Agenda Item No. I ~ 6 8- /~ -;;)01/ CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT Subiect: Resolution authorizing the installation of a 2-way stop at the intersection of Genevieve Street and 31 sl Street. Backe:round: The Traffic Engineering Section of the Public Works Department received citizen requests via the Council Office to evaluate the intersection of Genevieve Street and 31 sl Street for stop signs. The intersection is currently uncontrolled. Staff evaluated the intersection by conducting a field inspection, reviewing collision records, and considering traffic volumes. All other intersections immediately adjacent to this intersection have stop controls. Control of the intersection with stop signs would enhance intersection safety and make it consistent with all the other intersections immediately adjacent to it. Furthermore, the investigation also indicates that 31 sl Street should stop for Genevieve Street. This will require east and westbound traffic to stop for north and southbound traffic. Therefore, Public Works recommends that the attached Resolution be approved, establishing two-way stop controls at the intersection of 31 sl Street and Genevieve Street. Financial Impact: Funds for this are appropriated in the Public Works Department FY 2011-12 budget account for materials and supplies No. 001-400-5111-0000-0026. Account: 001-400-5111-0000-0026 Budgeted Amount: $ 230.100 Balance as of 7/11/11: $ 176.800 Balance after the approval of this item: $ 176.300 Please note this balance does not indicate available funding. It does not include non-encumbered reoccurring expenses or expenses incurred. but not yet processed. Recommendation: Adopt Resolution. Attachments: . Map . Warrants .
