BACKGROUND
Staff has identified the following intersections as having a significant amount of accidents related
to permissive left -turn movements between January- 1, 2006, and December 31, 2010:
Rye Canyon Road and Avenue Scott
Whites Canyon Road and Stillmore Street
Soledad Canyon Road and Galeton Road
These signalized intersections are currently operating with protected permissive left -turn signal
phasing and have been experiencing an increase in left -turn collisions within the past five years.
In order to enhance the operation and safety at these intersections, staff is proposing the left -turn
phasing be protected. With the proposed changes, the left -turn movements will only be allowed

during left -turn green arrows and will eliminate conflicts with opposing traffic. This
improvement, therefore, will mitigate left -turn collisions at these intersections.

Purchasing Division received six bids for the project as follows:
