Our office has subse- quently completed a traffic study to determine if the 4-way stop is justified at this intersection. Traffic counts show that existing traffic flows, exception of southbound traffic, are nearly approximately 2,000 ADT. Critical speed on 48th measured at 48 m.p.h. The study shows that the intersection. presently controlled by 2-way stop signs on Little Mountain Drive. has been programed to be signalized in the future when the area is fully developed. The office record indicates that developments in the vicinity have been partially assessed for their share of the traffic signal costs. Present traffic volumes, significantly increased over the last few years. are still below the required minimum for traffic signals. Recent traffic accident history reveals that a total of six accidents have been reported in the past nine months. Some of the accidents could be prevented if 4-way stop signs are installed. with the equal at Street is Based upon the traffic volumes. critical speed. and traffic accident experience. this intersection meets the Engineering warrants for 4-way stops as an interim measure prior to the traffic signals being installed. This matter has been discussed at the 9/19/85 Mayor's Traffic Safety Committee meeting. and a motion carried unanimously to recommend that the Mayor and Council approve the installation of a 4-way stop at the intersection of 48th Street and Li ttle Mountain Drive be approved. 2 7$.0264 - - - ~ ......... _ REQUEl,.l eFOR lCOUNCI~t;ION CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO From: Roger G.

At present. all traffic entering and exiting California Edison Electric Substation travel through this intersection daily. Some of the employees have reported difficulties and near-misses at this intersection. The Engineering Division has subsequently conducted a traffic engineering investigation at this intersection. The study indicated that both Chestnut Street and Grape Street are local streets accommodating an average of 325 and 200 daily traffic respectively. The sight distance at the southwest corner is partially obstructed by a fence. Accident history shows there has been one accident reported for the past two years. This matter was discussed at the 9/19/85 Mayor's Traffic Safety Committee. The Committee felt that a two-way stop on Chestnut. at Grape, would improve the traffic safety at this intersection. and recommend that the Mayor and Common Council approve the installation. 2 75-0264 "--' ..... ,/ RESOLUTION NO. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 2482 ENTITLED IN PART -A RESOLUTION . . .
