ESTABLISH AN ALL-WAY STOP AT THE
INTERSECTION OF AVENIDA ENCINAS AND
PORTAGE WAY/MARLIN LANE
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Introduce Ordinance No. NS-713 with Portage Way/Marlin Lane. to require stops on Avenida Encinas at its intersection
ITEM EXPLANATION:
At the City Council meeting of July 20, 2004, the Council heard the citizen appeal of a Traffic
Safety Commission recommendation to not establish an all-way stop at the intersection of Avenida
Encinas and Portage Way/Marlin Lane. Both Portage Way and Marlin Lane are private streets and
each street is controlled by a stop sign posted at its intersection with Avenida Encinas.
The City Council determined, by a 4-1 vote, that it was necessary to assign the right of way to vehicles and pedestrians by establishing an all-way stop at the intersection of Avenida Encinas with Portage Way/Marlin Lane. This action requires the installation of stop signs on Avenida
Encinas at the subject intersection. Warning signs that indicate “stop ahead” will be installed in advance of the all-way stop intersection. The City Council directed staff to supplement the “stop
ahead” signs with a flashing beacon at both “stop ahead” sign locations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Installing stop signs, “stop ahead” signs, painted crosswalks, and painted pavement legends will
cost about $1,500. The two solar-powered flashing beacons will cost about $1 5,000 total to furnish
and install.
