Public Works
City Council adopt a -resolution authorizing the installation of multiway stop controls for the
following intersections:
• Alaminos Drive at Wellston Drive
• Centurion Way at Scallion Drive
• Bernina Avenue at Oakmoor Street

BACKGROUND
Staff received requests from area residents to investigate the possibility of installing multiway
stop controls at the intersections of Alaminos Drive at Wellston Drive, Centurion Way at
Scallion Drive, Bernina Avenue at Oakmoor Street, and Las Mananitas Drive at Garzota Drive.
Residents have indicated heavy traffic congestion at these intersections, particularly during the
morning and afternoon school dismissal periods.
These intersections are all located in residential neighborhoods and in close proximity to
neighborhood schools. Staff conducted a multiway stop analysis for each intersection, which
included the evaluation of vehicular and pedestrian volumes, collision history, and sight visibility
at the intersection. The analysis determined the intersections all met the minimum volume
warrants for the installation of multiway stop controls in residential neighborhoods.

The installation of these multiway stop controls will improve traffic circulation and safety for
both motorists and pedestrians at the intersections. The multiway stop controls will provide a gap
in the mainstream traffic to reduce delay for motorists entering from the minor street and
improve the right-of-way control at the intersections. In addition, these multiway stop controls
will help mitigate sight restrictions at the intersections and address traffic concerns from area
residents.
New stop controls will be placed at the following intersection approaches. to establish the
multiway stop controls:
• On all approaches of Alaminos Drive at Wellston Drive.
• On both approaches of Centurion Way at Scallion Drive.
• On both approaches of Bernina Avenue at Oakmoor Street.
• On both approaches of Las Mananitas Drive at Garzota Drive.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS

FISCAL IMPACT
The total estimated cost for these installations, including labor and material, is approximately
$4,000. Adequate funds for the installations are currently available in the Fiscal Year 2008-2009
