m:
MONROE STREET/SUNNYHILL DRIVE/
ALDER AVENUE PROPOSED ALL-WAY STOP CITY ATTY.
I CITY MGR:
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Introduce Ordinance No. NS-~~ to install Stop signs at the intersection of Monroe
StreetBunnyhill Drive/Alder Avenue.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
A “T” intersection has been established with the intersecting streets of Monroe StreeffSunnyhill
Drive/Alder Avenue. This intersection is located in a residential area serving local residents and is
also used as a route for vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles to access Magnolia Elementary School, Valley Middle School, and Carlsbad High School. Intersection traffic volumes are very low based
upon an October 1998 traffic count that found 1,149 vehicles entering the intersection from all three streets over a 24-hour period. Currently, Alder Avenue is controlled by a stop sign at its intersection with Monroe Street.
This intersection was discussed briefly at a previous City Council meeting when approval of the
May subdivision was being considered. Several residents indicated their interest in having the
“T” intersection established as an ALL-WAY STOP. Vehicle speeds and school pedestrians using
the intersection were cited as reasons for the stop sign requests. No accidents have been reported at this intersection for more than five years.
If an ALL-WAY STOP is established, staff recommends that a five-foot wide pedestrian pathway be
constructed on the southwest corner of the intersection by relocating the existing asphalt berm
closer to the center of the street. This work can be performed by city forces.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Installation of stop signs and striping and the construction of an asphalt pathway and berm will cost
about $2,000.
