MULTI -WAY STOP INSTALLATION AT PLEASANTDALE
STREET AND WALNUT SPRINGS AVENUE
Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the installation of a multi -way stop control at the
intersection of Pleasantdale Street and Walnut Springs Avenue.
BACKGROUND
Staff received a request from a resident to investigate the possibility of installing a multi -way
stop control at the intersection of Pleasantdale Street and Walnut Springs Avenue to improve the
safety of school children crossing at this intersection. This intersection is in a residential
neighborhood contiguous to Canyon Springs Elementary School. The intersection has an existing
two-way stop control with stop signs on Pleasantdale Street.
Staff conducted a multi -way stop analysis at this intersection, which included the evaluation of
vehicular volume data, pedestrian data, collision history, and sight visibility. The analysis
determined that this intersection meets the City's minimum warrants for the installation of a
multi -way stop control.
The intersection of Pleasantdale Street and Walnut Springs Avenue is along the "Suggested
Route to School" for students attending Canyon Springs Elementary School. A multi -way stop
control will help establish right-of-way assignments, provide for the orderly movement of traffic,
and improve safety for students utilizing the crossing across Walnut Springs Avenue. In addition,
the multi -way stop installation, which requires southbound traffic on Walnut Springs Avenue to
stop, would help reduce any potential vehicular conflict between southbound traffic and
eastbound traffic, due to restricted visibility caused by the roadway curvature north of the
intersection.
