SUBJECT: Consider Designating Mesa Verde Drive a
Through Street and Directing the Placement of
STOP Signs at the Entrances Thereto
OVERVIEW
This presents a Resolution designating a portion of Mesa Verde
Drive a through street and directing the placement of STOP signs
for traffic entering this street segment.
DISCUSSION
Section 21354 of the California Vehicle Code allows the local
agency to designate any City street a through street. Such a
designation permits the placement of STOP signs for traffic
entering said street.
Several streets intersect with Mesa Verde Drive. Ashtree Street
is the only street with STOP signs controlling traffic entering
Mesa Verde Drive. There is sufficient traffic on several of the
other streets to cause potential traffic conflicts. In order to
better control traffic movement and improve traffic safety, it
is recommended that STOP signs be installed at certain of the
other entrances to Mesa Verde Drive. The existing and proposed
additional STOP signs at the entrances to Mesa verde Drive are
shown on Exhibit 'A'.
In addition, the City Council is advised that consideration was
given to designating the intersection of Ashtree Street and Mesa
Verde Drive a four -way STOP intersection. The Traffic Engineer
reviewed this option and strongly believes that such a
designation would not meet traffic warrants. It is staff's
opinion that such an Engineering Study would not be cost
effective and that this option not be given further
consideration.
