MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works
DATE: March 6, 2003 (Council Meeting 3- 19 -03)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Rescinding Resolution No. 2002 -
1998 and Directing the Placement of a STOP Sign at Only
the Deering Lane Entrance to the Intersection of
Cedarpine Lane and Deering Lane.
DISCUSSION
A. Resolution No. 2002 -1998
In September of 2002, the City Council adopted Resolution No.
2002 -1998 designating the intersection of Cedarpine Lane and
Deering Lane to be a Stop Intersection and directing the
placement of STOP signs at all entrances to said intersection.
At that time it was the view of the City Council that such
traffic controls would improve traffic safety in this
neighborhood.
B. Committee Recommendation
On March 3, 2003, the Transportation and Streets Committee
(Councilmembers Millhouse and Harper) considered public
testimony regarding the driving habits at and in the vicinity
of the subject intersection and the apparent ineffectiveness of
the STOP signs installed for the Cedarpine Lane legs of this
intersection. Based on that testimony and input from staff
regarding "unwarranted" STOP signs, the Committee recommended
that the STOP signs for the Cedarpine Lane legs of the
intersection be removed. Staff concurs with that
recommendation.
