COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE: April 9, 1999
TO: MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
FROM: TOWN MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVE STOP SII�i`N DESIGN FOR COLLEGE AVENUE AND MAIN STREET
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve stop sign design for College Avenue and Main Street.
D ISCUSSION:
Council previously directed staff to prepare a stop sign design. Staff worked with Town Traffic Engineer, Mark Wessel,
to complete the stop sign design (Attachment 1).
The basic design includes the following:
1. Adds "STOP" signs and messages to all 3 legs of the intersection
2. Adds temporary "STOP AHEAD" symbol signs for both directions of East Main Street
3. Leaves crosswalks in their existing locations
4. Does not reduce parking
"STOP AHEAD" signs
Mr. Wessel's design calls out the installation of temporary "STOP AHEAD" signs to be installed with warning flags for
the first 3 weeks of installation. This is the only warning recommended by Mr. Wessel. Additionally, Council may
consider the following additional warnings:
1. Installing temporary "STOP" signs on barricades in the center of the road at the stop bars for the first week.
2. Making the "STOP AHEAD" signs permanent. Removing only the flags after the first 3 weeks.
3. Installing "STOP AHEAD" pavement messages adjacent to the permanent "STOP AHEAD" symbol signs.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS:
Is a project defined under CEQA, but is categorically exempt under section 15301.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Costs to install stop signs, temporary signs, new striping, and new pavement messages, and removal (grinding) of existing
striping are estimated at $500 and are proposed to be absorbed within the existing operating budget, Account No. 5050-
70910 (traffic safety and control).
