Description) Signing & Striping Materials Finance: Council Notes: yJ � Agenda Item No. CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT Subject: Authorization to install 4-Way Stop—Intersection of 33" Street and "G" Street Background: The Traffic Engineering Section received a request to review the referenced intersection. Marshall Elementary School is located on the southwest corner of 33`a and "G" Streets (see Attachment A) and the main concern is school pedestrian safety. Traffic Engineering staff conducted an engineering study to evaluate the intersection based on established guidelines. Although the intersection does not meet warrants for a 4-way stop, special circumstances exist at the intersection where the addition of stop signs for north and southbound traffic will enhance vehicular and pedestrian safety. The intersection is currently controlled by a 2-way stop control; east and westbound traffic stop. There is limited visibility at the intersection caused by large trees and several would have to be removed to provide adequate visibility; parked vehicles also block visibility. To help resolve this situation, "No Parking" zones could be established, however, this would involve prohibiting on-street parking in front of residences. Consequently, the installation of stop signs for north and southbound traffic is recommended. The Traffic Safety Committee evaluated this request at their meeting of March 10, 1999. The Committee concurred with the findings and recommendations of staff and recommended that a four-way stop be installed at the intersection. Financial Impact: Funding for installation of the signs and pavement markings will come from the general fund's signing and striping materials account no. 001-187-5111. This action is considered routine and there will be no major impact to the account. Recommendation: Adopt Resolution authorizing the installation of a 4-way stop at the intersection of"G" Street and 33`d Street.
