Arrowhead Avenue intersects "E" Street/Kendall Drive in the middle of a curve , which is not in accordance with accepted Traffic Engineering principles . Approval was given in 1983 to close Arrowhead Avenue on a trial basis . This closure generated considerable complaints , from the owner of a motel on the southeast corner of "E" Street and Arrowhead Avenue, and from motorists who used Arrowhead Avenue as a "short cut. " A directive was later issued by the Mayor and Council that the barricades be removed and Arrowhead Avenue re-opened to traffic . Since plans are being prepared for the widening of "E" Street/Kendall Drive, it seems appropriate to reconsider the closure of Arrowhead Avenue. The motel is now closed, and has lost its non-conforming status , which will negate a major source of opposition. The accident rate at the intersection of Arrowhead Avenue with "E" Street/Kendall Drive is within normal limits. However, widening "E" Street/Kendall Drive to four lanes will change the configuration of the intersection. Letters were mailed to residents in the area advising them of the possible closure of Arrowhead Avenue , and that the matter would be considered by the Traffic Safety Committee at their meeting of 9-10-97 . Signs were also posted to advise motorists of this consideration. The 24-hour traffic volume on Arrowhead Avenue, east of "E" Street/Kendall Drive, is: Westbound - 1 , 270 Eastbound - 1 , 630 Total - 21900 The closure of this street would result in a change in traffic patterns in the area. Some through traffic would probably elect to use 36th Street, 34th Street or Marshall Boulevard, but the majority is expected to use Highland Avenue, or Electric Avenue. We have reviewed the impact of the addition- al projected traffic on these streets, and have concluded that none of their capacities would be exceeded. Emergency access is provided to residents living on the top of the hill by a private street, commonly referred to as the Burma Road. This street would continue to provide emergency access to "D" Street, as shown on the attached map. 9-18-97 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT Public Works Department File No. 1 . 7050/13 . 1V Page 2 of 2 In the event that the recommendation by the Traffic Safety Committee is accepted, the environmental review for the improvement of "E" Street/Kendall Drive will be based upon Arrowhead Avenue being closed. Thirty-Two people attended the meeting of the Traffic Safety Committee. A straw vote was taken to allow these persons to indicate their support or opposition. The results of this vote were: In support - 8 In opposition - 24 After hearing input by staff and the public, the Traffic Safety Committee approved the closure, by a vote of 8 to 3 . We recommend that the recommendation by the Traffic Safety Committee be accepted. Attach. 9-18-97 DRTH K ND 0 LOCATION OF PPOPOSED CLOSURE t BURMA FUTUR \ RD 2 LANES EA.
