TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works
DATE: May 23, 1994 (Council. Meeting (3-1 -94)
SUBJECT: Consider Designating Certain Streets as
Through Street and Directing the Placement of
STOP Signs at the Entrances Thereto [Penn
Street and Marquette Street]
BACKGROUND
On May 18, 1994, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 94 -1034
making the California Vehicle Code (CVC) applicable to the
private streets and privately owned parking facilities in the
Varsity Park South Homeowners Assoc -i.ation.
DISCUSSION
One of the provisions of the Vehicle Code which should be
enforced in this area is the laws requiring vehicles to stop at
posted STOP signs. Two such signs have been post by the HOA at
each end of Varsity Street. It would be appropriate for the
City to adopt a resolution designating these intersections as
STOP intersections.
Section 21354 of the California Vehicle Code allows the local
agency to designate through streets and to direct the placement
of STOP signs for traffic entering through streets. It is
recommended that Penn Street and Marquette Street be designated
through streets and that STOP signs be posted at all of the
entrances to these streets.
For clarity, the existing STOP sign at Stanford Street and Penn
Street has been included in the attached resolution. As in the
past, the STOP signs on Varsity Street will be maintained by the
HOA and the STOP sign of Stanford :Street will be maintained by
the City.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached
resolution designating certain streets as a through street and
directing the placement of STOP sirens at the entrances thereto.
