ENG INSTALL A STOP SIGN ON SANTA ISABEL STREET AT ALGA ROAD TITLE RECOMMENDED ACTION: Introduce Ordinance No. J/Fc( UI installing a stop sign on Santa Isabel Street at Alga Road. ITEM EXPLANATION: Current practice is for the location of stop signs controlling access to through streets to be approved by Ordinance and included in the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The Code assigns to the City Traffic Engineer (City Engineer) the responsibility of determining the timing of ; installation of traffic control devices. The City's traffic consultant has studied traffic on Santa Isabel at its intersections with Alga Road and El Fuerte Street. Alga Road is a major arterial street at this location, and Santa Isabel Street is a local street. This intersection is a "T" intersection. To assign right-of-way, it is a necessity to have Santa Isabel Street stop for Alga Road. A criterion for stop sign installation is met in that Alga Road is an important link in the City's adopted circulation element of the general plan. As the various links of the circulation element are constructed, all the streets on the plan will be "through streets", and traffic on all intersecting streets will stop for the through streets. It is the recommendation of the traffic consultant and the City Engineer that based on staff's study, the City Council approve installation of stop signs stopping traffic on Santa Isabel at Alga Road. FISCAL IMPACT: Installing one stop sign will cost approximately $75.00. EXHIBITS: 1. Location Map. 2. Ordinance No. .3 484 installing a stop sign on Santa Isabel Street at Alga Road.
