From: Robert Eisenbeisz M/CC Meeting Date: 05/07/2012
Prepared by: Tony Lugo, (909) 384-5140
Dept: Public Works Ward(s): 3
Subject:
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino Establishing a 3-
Way Stop at the Intersection of Rialto Avenue and Macy Street.
Financial Impact:
Account Budgeted Amount: $ 230, 100
Account No. 001-400-0026-5111
Account Description: Materials and Supplies
Balance as of 4-19-12: $ 125,197.35
Balance after approval of this item: $ 122,697.35
Please note this balance does not indicate available funding. It does not include non-encumbered
reccurring expenses or expenses incurred,but not yet processed.
Motion: Adopt Resolution.
Synopsis of Previous Council Action:
None.
Background:
The Traffic Engineering Section of the Public Works Department has evaluated the intersection of
Rialto Avenue and Macy Street to determine the need for a traffic signal. This is a "T" type
intersection. Currently,the intersection is controlled by a one-way stop on the northbound approach
of Macy Street. Traffic volumes on Rialto Avenue during peak periods can result in excessive
delay to drivers attempting to enter the intersection from Macy Street. Additionally, school children
cross Rialto Avenue at or near the intersection on their way to and from school and there are school
bus stops in the vicinity of the intersection. Based upon a traffic engineering analysis, this location
meets warrants for a traffic signal. The California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
allows the installation of multi-way stop controls as an interim measure until a traffic signal is
constructed. In some cases, the multi-way stop controls prove to provide an acceptable operational
level of service.

Staff recommends installation of a three-way stop at this location until a traffic signal can be funded,
designed, and constructed and that the attached Resolution be adopted establishing a three-way stop
at the intersection of Rialto Avenue and Macy Street. Once the controls are in place, Traffic
Engineering staff will monitor this intersection for acceptable operation.
The attached Resolution was updated to include current field conditions including stop signs that
were approved pursuant to previous Resolutions. In addition, a four-way stop at the intersection
of Macy Street and Mill Street has been removed because this intersection is now controlled by a
traffic signal.
