ACTION:
MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Yugal K. Lail, City Engineer/Public Works Director
DATE: April 23, 2008 (CC Meeting of 05/07/08)
SUBJECT: Consider a Report from the Transportation and Public Works
Committee Regarding the Possible Modification of the Tierra Rejada
Road/Miller Parkway/Moorpark Road Intersection to Allow Through
North-South Traffic
BACKGROUND
In March 2008 the City Council approved the modification of the Moorpark Road/Tierra
Rejada Road intersection to include dual left-turn lanes for northbound Moorpark Road
traffic turning onto westbound Tierra Rejada Road. It is anticipated that construction of
the dual left-turns will be completed by late summer of this year.
At that meeting the City Council also discussed the possibility of opening Miller
Parkway/Moorpark Road to through traffic. The City Council directed staff to take this
matter to the Transportation and Public Works Committee (Councilmembers Millhouse
and Van Dam) for discussion and recommendation.
DISCUSSION
At the regular meeting of the Transportation and Public Works Committee held on April 7,
2008, the Committee discussed the design and function of the Miller Parkway/Moorpark
Road/'Tierra Rejada Road intersection. This intersection was designed and constructed
to prohibit through north-south traffic from-to Miller Parkway & Moorpark Road. The
Committee discussed the function of that intersection over the years since its
construction, and the pros and cons of a project which would modify the intersection to
allow through north-south traffic. After due consideration, the Committee recommended
that the City Council take no action to implement such intersection modifications.
In addition, the City has received nine a-mails from the Serenata residents regarding this
matter. Copies of those a-mails have been previously provided to the City Council.
