MEMORANDUM
--
TO : City Manager
FROM: Publ ic Works Administrator
DATE : December 22, 1978
SUBJECT: TRAFFIC SIGNAL - EL CAMINO REAL AT TAMARACK
The design for the referenced signal is tentatively set
for the 1979-80 fiscal year with construction tentatively set
for the following year. Final determination is subject to
City Council action on the Capital Improvement Program and
availability of sewer capacity. The latter element is the
critical factor because the signal is financed by private de-
velopment. Carlsbad Palisades and Lake Calavera Hills have
an obligation to finance part of the cost of the signal. This
obligation is associated with their developments which is asso-
ciated with sewer capacity. Woodbine also has an obligation
to participate when the signal is installed.
The citizen's request is to address Council about install-
ing the signal ahead of schedule. To do this, Council would
have to divert City funds from some other source. It is ques-
tionable that the cost of the signal installation could be re-
covered from the developers at some future time. We are ex-
ploring this issue and will hopefully have an answer in time
for the Council meeting of January 2, 1979. The alternatives
to a signal are car pooling and the use of North County Transit
District.
