CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Subiect:
Authorization to establish a 4-Way Stop at the intersection of Palm Avenue and Verdemont
Drive.
Back2round:
Development Services staff received a request, via the Council Office, from the residents of the
area surrounding the intersection of Palm Avenue and Verdemont Drive. The requestors feel that
installation of a 4-way stop at this intersection will enhance traffic safety in this area.
Both of the referenced streets are classified as local, residential streets within this area.
Consequently, the request was evaluated in accordance with City's Administrative Policy for Stop
Sign Installation. The requestors circulated a petition that was prepared by staff and signed by
residents in the vicinity of the intersection.
Traffic Engineering section staff evaluated the request. Pursuant to the evaluation, staff has
determined that this intersection meets Warrant "B" of the Administrative Policy (see
attachment). This warrant is satisfied when sixty (60%) percent of the residents located within
six-hundred (600) feet of the proposed stop signs, sign a petition agreeing to their installation
and that at least two other criteria are met. In this case, criteria B-2 and B-3 are met. Part B-2
of the warrants is met when the two intersecting streets do not meet at right angles. Part B-3
of the warrant is met when one or more of the streets leading to the intersection is at a grade of
more than 5 % percent. In this case, the south leg is at a 11.35 percent grade.
Since this intersection meets Warrant "B" of the Administrative Policy for Installation of Stop
Signs, staff recommends the installation of a 4-way stop at the intersection of Palm Avenue at
Verdemont Drive.
The attached Resolution contains the following corrections: Subsection "13.7A (Palm Avenue) is
being updated to reflect current field conditions and to take into account stop signs that are being
installed as part of the development now under construction on the northeast corner of Palm
Avenue and Verdemont Drive. The same is true for Subsection 21.4 (Verdemont Drive),
however, in this case the City will need to install a new stop sign on the northbound approach to
Huntington Drive and Verdemont Drive. The developer has already installed a stop sign on the
southbound approach to this intersection and it is recommended, for consistency, that the City do
the same for northbound traffic.
Financial Impact:
The estimated cost of $1,250.00 for installing the new stop signs will come from Account No.
001-402- 5111 (Street Maintenance).
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution.
