CS-141 to require stops on Monroe Street at its intersection with
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Introduce Ordinance No. _
Gayle Way.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The subject intersection serves the local neighborhood and is directly adjacent to Carlsbad High
School (see Exhibit 1). During the time period before and after school and during events at the high
school, this intersection can be congested with pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles.
This portion of Monroe Street and Gayle Way are unclassified in the Circulation Element of the
General Plan but function as local streets. Monroe Street has a curb-to-curb width of 40 feet and
features curb, gutter, sidewalk and street lights on both sides. Gayle Way has a curb-to-curb width of
36 feet and features curb and gutter but no sidewalk and no street lights. Traffic control on Monroe
Street is provided by an ALL-WAY STOP at Monroe Street and Basswood Avenue and a traffic signal
at Monroe Street and Chestnut Avenue.
Staff conducted turning movement observations at the subject intersection for the one-hour period
before the start of school and the one-hour period at the end of school. The results of the turning
movement counts are provided in Exhibits 2 and 3 and showed that 45 pedestrians crossed Monroe
Street at Gayle Way in the morning hour and that 56 pedestrians crossed Monroe Street in the
afternoon hour. Section 2B.07 of the California MUTCD recommends consideration of ALL-WAY
STOP control when there is a "need to control vehicle/pedestrian conflicts near locations that
generate high pedestrian volumes". The city has installed ALL-WAY STOP control at other locations
adjacent to schools. These locations include the streets adjacent to Pacific Rim Elementary School,
Olivenhain Pioneer Elementary School and La Costa Canyon High School.
The Traffic Safety Commission considered this matter at its meeting on March 7, 2011. By a 2-1 vote,
the Traffic Safety Commission recommended that ALL-WAY STOP control be established on Monroe
Street at its intersection with Gayle Way.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA
Guidelines Section 15301(c) - minor alteration of existing facilities, including streets, involving
negligible or no expansion.
