1. Awroval of Minutes
The minutes of the October 5, 1976 meeting were approved as submitted.
2. Stop or yield control on Cordoba Place at its intersection
with Neblina Drive
Due to impaired sight distance and the fact that the south
leg of the above intersection will soon be open to traffic, the Commission recommended that yield control be established
on Cordoba Place (the east leg) to properly assign right-of- way for motorists.
3. Request to change yield control at the intersection of Pine Avenue and Basswood Avenue
Since the majority of traffic still travels on Basswood
Avenue, the Commission recommended against changing the yield signing from Pine Avenue to Basswood Avenue. The Commission did request that some of the vegetation along
the east side of Basswood Avenue be trimmed to help improve
sight distance at the intersection.

4. Three-way stop control at the intersection of Jefferson Street and Magnolia Avenue
After carefully reviewing the traffic volumes, accidents,
and geometrics at the above intersection, the Commission
recommended against installing any additional signing at the above intersection. The sight distance at the inter-
section is reasonably good, and the Commission felt the
existing signing was adequate €or both pedestrians and motorists.
5. Review speed zones on Carlsbad Boulevard
The Commission reviewed several speed zone surveys and
listened to the concerns of some of the residents who live
along or near Carlsbad Boulevard. The Commission requested that some additional data be compiled on that section of
Carlsbad Boulevard between Tamarack Avenue and Palomar Airport Road which may then be reviewed at the next meeting
of the Commission.
6. Request for stop or siqnal control at the intersection of Palomar Airport Road and Paseo del Norte
7.
Due to the unusually wide street section of Palomar Airport Road, the Commission requested that the Engineering Staff design a couple of alternatives to channelize traffic at this intersection. The traffic volumes have increased greatly during the last few months, so the Commission would like to review some channelization possibilities before making any
recommendations regarding stop or signal control.
Striping and parking on Paseo del Norte south of Palomar Airport Road
This item will be discussed in conjunction with Item #6 at
the next Commission meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
Traffic Safety Commission
