AGENDA REPORT
To: The Honorable City Council
From: Kenneth Gilbert, Director of Public Works
Date: December 17, 2001 (Council Meeting of 12- 19 -01)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution No. Designating Sagewood
Drive to be a Through Street in the Vicinity of
Timberdale Road, and Directing the Placement of a Stop
Sign at the Timberdale Road Entrance Thereto
DISCUSSION
A. Resolution
Attached as Exhibit 1 is the subject Resolution.
B. Location
The location of the subject intersection is shown on Exhibit
`A' of the Resolution.
C. Traffic Controls at Three -Way Intersections
In order to better provide for safe movement of traffic at a
"tee" intersection, it is sometimes appropriate to install a
STOP sign for traffic approaching the intersection from the
"side street" entrance to that intersection. The proposed
action would provide for such a STOP sign for southbound
traffic on Timberdale Road, approaching Sagewood Drive - a
"through street ".
D. Traffic Volume / Short -Cut Route
Traffic volumes at the subject intersection are higher than
"normal" due to the use of Timberdale Road and Sagewood Drive
by non -local traffic. It has been observed that these streets
are used as a "shortcut" by east -west traffic generated by

Arroyo West School. The placement of the subject STOP signs
would improve traffic safety at that intersection, and may
discourage the use of these streets by non -local traffic.
