ENG CITY OF CARLSBAD - AGENDA BILL TITLE: ESTABLISH AN ALL-WAY STOP AT THE INTERSECTION OF OCEAN STREET/ CYPRESS AVENUE CITY ATTY. 6s CITY MGR. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Introduce Ordinance No. NS-714 intersection. to require stops at the Ocean StreeVCypress Avenue ITEM EXPLANATION: The Ocean StreeVCypress Avenue intersection is configured as a T-intersection. It is located at the southerly school zone boundary for the Army and Navy Academy. Stop signs were installed years ago on Ocean Street at Cypress Avenue; however, no stop sign has been installed on Cypress Avenue to control vehicles entering Ocean Street. The Cypress Avenue leg of this intersection is the stem of the T-intersection, which typically would be controlled with a stop sign. Several yellow school crosswalks have been striped on Ocean Street immediately north of the subject intersection and are most likely the basis for the stop sign installation on Ocean Street. Westbound drivers on Cypress Avenue have limited sight distance to view northbound Ocean Street vehicles. Complaints have been received about vehicles running the stop signs on Ocean Street at Cypress Avenue. Conflicts can be minimized by assigning the right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians by installing a stop sign on Cypress Avenue and creating an all-way stop at the intersection of Ocean StreeVCypress Avenue. At their July 12, 2004 meeting, the Traffic Safety Commission recommended, by a 5-0 vote, that a stop sign be installed on Cypress Avenue at its intersection with Ocean Street, thereby establishing an all-way stop controlled intersection. FISCAL IMPACT: Installing one stop sign, limit line, and stop pavement legend will cost about $500.00. EXHIBITS: 1. Location Map. 2.
