Description: Street Maintenance Finance: Council Notes: 1 Agenda Item No./4�— I1 s b7 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO — REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION - STAFF REPORT Subject: Authorization to establish a 3-Way Stop at the intersection Crestview Avenue and Wabash Avenue. Background: At a recent School of the Month meeting at Bradley Elementary School, parents and school staff expressed concern about the lack of "stop" controls at the intersection of Crestview Avenue and Wabash Avenue. Bradley Elementary School is located immediately adjacent to this "T" intersection. A 3-way stop was requested for increased safety at the intersection crosswalk. Both Crestview Avenue and Wabash Avenue are classified as collector streets within this area. However, both carry relatively low volumes of traffic. Recent traffic counts found that Crestview Avenue carries approximately 1,500 vehicles per day and Wabash Avenue carries approximately 1,300 vehicles per day, which qualifies this location to be evaluated in accordance with City's Administrative Policy for Stop Sign Installation. A petition was prepared by staff and signed by residents in the vicinity of the intersection. Traffic Engineering staff evaluated the request and 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 sign, sign a petition agreeing to the installation and that at least two other criteria are met. In this case, criteria B-1 and B-2 are met. Part B-1 of the warrant is met when a school is located within six hundred (600) feet of the intersection and the intersection is on the suggested route to school. Part B-2 is met when the streets leading to the intersection do not meet at right angles which is the case at this intersection. Since this intersection meets Warrant "B" of the Administrative Policy for Installation of Stop Signs, staff recommends the installation of a 3-way stop at the intersection of Wabash Avenue and Crestview Avenue. Financial Impact: The estimated cost of $1,200.00 for installing the new stop signs will come from Account No. 001-402-5111 (Street Maintenance). Recommendation: Adopt Resolution.
