AVENUE AND ALDERGROVE STREET & PINE HOLLOW
PLACE TO BE STOP INTERSECTIONS AND DIRECTING
THE PLACEMENT OF A STOP SIGN AT ALL ENTRANCES
TO SAID INTERSECTIONS
WHEREAS, Section 21354 of the California Vehicle Code
authorizes the City to designate any intersection under its
jurisdiction a stop intersection and erect STOP signs at one or
more entrances thereto; and

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK DOES

SECTION 1. That certain conditions exist at and in the
vicinity of the intersection of Loyola Street and Julliard Avenue
which justify the placement of STOP signs at all entrances to said
intersection, said conditions being summarized as follows:
a. Said streets serve as collector streets for the
surrounding residential area and convey volumes of traffic
deemed to be greater than average for a residential
street;
b. The intersection lies on a pedestrian "Route to School ";
c. The geometrics of the intersection are non - standard (there
are vertical and horizontal curves at approaches to the
intersection);
d. Sight- distance (visibility) is limited due to the vertical
and horizontal curves mentioned above; and,
e. The approaches to the intersection have grades which
contribute to excessive downhill speed.
SECTION 2. That the intersection of Loyola Street and
Julliard Avenue, as identified on Exhibit 'A' attached hereto and
made a part hereof, is hereby designated a stop intersection and
that STOP signs shall be erected at all entrances thereto.

SECTION 3. That certain conditions exist at and in the
vicinity of the intersection of Aldergrove Street and Pine Hollow
Place which justify the placement of STOP signs at all entrances
to said intersection, said conditions being summarized as follows:
a. Said streets serve as collector streets for the
surrounding residential area and convey volumes of traffic
deemed to be greater than average for a residential
street;
b. Aldergrove Street is used as a neighborhood "shortcut"
between two major collector streets and, as a result, the
volume and speed of vehicles traveling this street is
greater than average;
c. Said streets lie on a pedestrian "Route to School ";
d. The community pool located at this intersection generates
vehicular and pedestrian traffic in amounts which exceed
the amounts to be expected on a typical residential
street.

Pine Hollow Place, as identified on Exhibit 'B' attached hereto
and made a part hereof, is hereby designated a stop intersection
and that STOP signs shall be erected at all entrances thereto.
