ITEM EXPLANATION: I Mr. Ken Adams of 3002 Unicornio Street requested some traffic control at this intersection. Traffic Engineering investigation reveals no accidents, and an unusual traffic flow. The heaviest traffic movements are a right turn from northbound to eastbound, and the reverse left turn from westbound to southbound. The Traffic Safety Coordinating Committee reviewed the request on September 24 and the Traffic Safety Commission on October 1. Both bodies concurred in the recommendation that a combination yield and stop signs installation would best serve the current traffic flow patterns. As further development takes place in the area, the intersection should be periodically reviewed for possible changes in traffic flow and accident history. FISCAL IMPACT: Installing the yield sign on the east leg of the intersection, and stop signs on the north and west legs of El Fuerte Street and Unicornio Street will cost approximately $150.00.
