Nisich 1 DATE: November 24, 1992 SUBJECT: FLORABUNDA ROAD AND GRANDIFLORES ROAD - TWO-WAY STOP CONTROL Resolution No.. 92-224 DEPARTMENT: Community Development BACKGROUND Due to the recent development of a new housing tract in the surrounding area, the intersection of Florabunda Road and Grandiflores Road has been modified to a four -leg Intersection from an L -shape intersection. The intersection is uncontrolled at this time and has a concern for potential conflicts between the motorists using the intersection. In response to this concern, staff conducted an evaluation of the subject Intersection. In addition, Los Angeles.County was asked to perform a similar evaluation, because the portion of the Intersection is within the County's jurisdiction. Conditions The west and south half of the Intersection Is within the City of Santa Clarita's jurisdiction. The north and east half of the intersection is within the County's jurisdiction. Florabunda Road is a north/south residential local street that forms a four-way intersection with Grandiflores Road. The roadway is 36 feet wide with curb and sidewalk on each side. The street has one travel lane In each direction, and on -street parking is permitted. The prima facie speed limit is 25 mph. Grandiflores Road Is an east/west residential collector street. The roadway is 36 feet wide with curb and sidewalk on each side. The street has one travel lane in each direction, and on -street parking Is permitted. The prima facie speed limit is 25 mph. DISCUSSION The Los Angeles County's study recommends Installation of two-way stop control at the Intersection. The traffic on Florabunda Road should be required to stop before entering the Intersection (See Exhibit "C"). Adopted:it N- 9,L ' Agenda Item: AGENDA - FLORABUNDA ROAD AND GRANDIFLORES ROAD Page 2 Based on the results of our evaluation, we concur with the County's recommendation. It Is believed that the proposed two-way stop control would be beneficial at the subject Intersection for the following reasons: 1) The location Is a four-way Intersection comprised of a residential collector and residential local streets. 2) Presently, the Intersection Is uncontrolled. 3) The proposed stop control will establish positive right-of-way control for the motorists entering the intersection and reduce potential conflicts between the motorists. RECOMMENDATION 1) Adopt Resolution No. 92-224, authorizing a two-way stop control to be installed on Florabunda Road at-Grandiflores Road (See Exhibit 'Wand "B"). 2) Direct staff to coordinate with the Los Angeles County to Install the appropriate sign and pavement legends to effect this stop control.
