HD. CITY ATTY& RECOMMENDED ACTION: IEPT. ENG Introduce Ordinance No. NS-668 Calle Cordoba. to require stops on Calle Acervo at the intersection of lClTY A4GR.s Introduce Ordinance No. NS-669 of Calle Acervo. to require stops on Calle Cordoba at the intersection ITEM EXPLANATION: Olivenhain Pioneer Elementary School is served by a one-way driveway from Calle Acervo and is located at the intersection of Calle Acervo/Calle Cordoba. This intersection is essentially a three-leg intersection with the fourth leg being the southbound one-way school driveway. When the new school year starts in August, school busing will not be provided by the Encinitas Union Elementary School District. This will result in about 200 additional students using private transportation to the school. The Calle Acervo/Calle Cordoba intersection was congested during the last school year both before and after the school day. Many different vehicle turning movements and vehicle/pedestrian conflicts occur at this intersection. This is partially a result of parents parking on Calle Acervo and the side streets and waiting for their children or when they park and walk their children to and from school. High school traffic and other through traffic also use this intersection. Pedestrian crossings of Calle Acervo at the Calle Cordoba intersection is prohibited by signs, however, many parents and children ignore the signs and cross at this location. An all-way stop exists on Calle Acervo several hundred feet easterly of Calle Cordoba where the one-way school driveway exits on Calle Acervo. Establishing an all-way stop at the Calle Acervo/Calle Cordoba intersection will assign right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians. Currently, a stop sign is installed on Calle Cordoba at the Calle Acervo intersection. At their July 7, 2003 meeting, the Traffic Safety Commission reviewed the request to establish an all-way stop at the Calle Acervo/Calle Cordoba intersection. By a 5-0 vote, the Commission recommended that an all-way stop be established for purposes of assigning right-of-way at this school intersection. FISCAL IMPACT: Installation of stop signs, stop ahead signs, pavement legends, and yellow school crosswalks at the Calle Acervo/Calle Cordoba intersection will cost about $1,000. EXHIBITS: 1.
