PW-TRAN INTRODUCE ORDINANCE TO ESTABLISH ALL- WAY STOP CONTROL AT HIGHLAND DRIVE AND BUENA VISTA WAY/ELMWOOD STREET CITY MGR. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Introduce Ordinance No. CS-223 to require a stop on Highland Drive at its intersection with Buena Vista Way. ITEM EXPLANATION: The subject intersection serves the local neighborhood in the northwest quadrant of the city and is adjacent to Buena Vista Elementary School (see Exhibit 1). During the time periods when school begins and school ends, this intersection can be congested with school-age pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles. Highland Drive, Buena Vista Way and Elmwood Street are unclassified in the Circulation Element of the General Plan but function as local streets. The intersection effectively operates as a five-legged intersection and four ofthe five legs are currently STOP controlled. Section 2B.07 of the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) allows consideration of ALL-WAY STOP control when there is a "need to control vehicle/pedestrian confiicts neor locations that generate high pedestrian volumes." Previously, the city has installed ALL-WAY STOP control at other intersections in the vicinity of schools, including the streets adjacent to Pacific Rim Elementary School, Olivenhain Pioneer Elementary School, La Costa Canyon High School, Carlsbad High School and El Camino Creek Elementary School. Based on the engineering study conducted by staff, the Traffic Safety Commission unanimously supported staffs recommendation to establish ALL-WAY STOP control on Highland Drive at its intersection with Buena Vista Way/Elmwood Street. FISCAL IMPACT: The installation ofthe one STOP sign, STOP pavement legend, limits line and STOP AHEAD sign will cost approximately $1,000. Sufficient funds are available in the Streets Division budget. DEPARTMENT CONTACT: Bryan Jones 760-602-2431 bryan.jones@carlsbadca.gov FOR CLERK USE.
