RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE INSTALLATION OF
MULTIWAY STOP CONTROLS FOR THE INTERSECTION OF
CARNEGIE AVENUE AND BARCOTTA DRIVE
Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the installation of multiway stop controls for the
intersection of Carnegie Avenue and Barcotta Drive.
BACKGROUND
Staff received a request from an area resident to install multiway stop controls at the intersection
of Carnegie Avenue and Barcotta Drive. The resident indicated heavy vehicular and school-age
pedestrian congestion at the intersection during the morning arrival and afternoon school
dismissal periods.
The intersection of Carnegie Avenue and Barcotta Drive is a four -legged intersection in a
residential neighborhood and is in close proximity to James Foster Elementary School. The
intersection currently has stop controls on Carnegie Avenue.
Staff conducted an analysis of the intersection, which included the evaluation of vehicular and
pedestrian volumes, collision history, and visibility. The analysis confirmed the heavy vehicular
and school-age pedestrian volumes at the intersection during school arrival/dismissal hours. The
analysis also noted heavy on -street parking that restricted the visibility of oncoming vehicles and
pedestrians crossing at the intersection. The installation of the multiway stop controls will
improve the operation and safety at the intersection for both motorists and pedestrians. Traffic on
both Carnegie Avenue and Barcotta Drive will be required to stop before entering the
intersection.
Staff informed the school and adjacent property owners of the proposed multiway stop controls at
the intersection, all of which were in support of the proposed improvement. The school will also
notify the students' parents of the proposed improvements.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The installation of the multiway stop controls is estimated at $1,000. Adequate Gas Tax Funds
are available in the Street Maintenance Striping Account 14504-5111.010.
