RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Introduce Ordinance No. 3/78 installing a stop sign on the
north and west lea of El Fuerte Street and Unicornio Street and
installing a yieli sign on the east leg of the intersection of
El Fuerte Street and Unicornio Street.
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.
