SUBJECT: ADAMSBORO DRIVE AND JENA DRIVE - INSTALL STOP CONTROLS
Resolution Number: 91-108
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
BACKGROUND
A traffic engineering survey was conducted to determine the need for stop
controls at Adamsboro Drive and Jena Drive. This is a four-way intersection
with no existing controls. It is believed that potential conflict can be
reduced if stop signs were installed for east and westbound traffic on Adamsboro
Drive at Jena Drive. A copy of the Traffic Engineer's report is attached for
your information.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution Number 91-108 authorizing stop controls to be installed on
Adamsboro Drive at Jena Drive. Direct staff to have the appropriate sign and
pavement legends installed to effect this stop control.

REQUEST
Ms. Tina Sandberg of 24623 Little Oak Lane has expressed concern for traffic
safety at the intersection of Adamsboro Drive and Jena Drive. See site
location map Exhibit "A".
An evaluation of traffic conditions has been conducted. Based upon the
results of this evaluation it is recommended that traffic on Adamsboro Drive
be required to stop before entering Jena Drive. See Exhibit "B".
CONDITIONS
Jena Drive is a north/south residential collector street. The roadway is 40
feet wide with curb and sidewalk on each side. The street is driven as one
travel lane in each direction. On -street parking is permitted. The prima
facie speed limit is 25 mph.
Adamsboro Drive is a residential street that forms a four-way intersection
with Jena Drive. The roadway is 40 feet wide with curb and sidewalk on each
side. The street is driven as one travel lane in each direction. On -street
parking is permitted. The prima facie speed limit is 25 -mph.
DISCUSSION
It is believed that the proposed stop control would be beneficial at this
intersection for the following reasons:
• The location is comprised of a residential collector street and a
residential local street.
• The proposed stop control will provide a more positive right-of-way
control for circulating traffic in this neighborhood which has
sixteen "T" intersections and only one other four-way intersection.
For these reasons the stop controls are recommended.
