RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE INSTALLATION OF
MULTIWAY STOP CONTROLS AT THE INTERSECTION OF
STILLMORE STREET AND WALNUT SPRINGS AVENUE
Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the installation of multiway stop controls at the
intersection of Stillmore Street and Walnut Springs Avenue.
BACKGROUND
Staff received a request from a resident to investigate the possibility of installing multiway stop
controls at the intersection of Stillmore Street and Walnut Springs Avenue (Exhibit "A") to
enhance the operational efficiency of the intersection and improve the safety of school children
crossing at this location.
Currently, the intersection has two-way stop controls with traffic stopping on Walnut Springs
Avenue. It is located in a residential neighborhood. It is in close proximity to Canyon Springs
Elementary School, and many elementary students use the intersection during school hours.
Staff conducted a multiway 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
multiway stop controls in a residential area. Upon further evaluation of the area circulation, it
was determined that multiway stop controls will enhance the operational efficiency of the
intersection and improve safety for students crossing Stillmore Street.
Staff informed Canyon Springs Elementary School of the proposed multiway stop controls for
the subject intersection. The school supports the proposed improvement.

FISCAL IMPACT
The installation of the multiway stop controls is estimated at $500. Adequate funds are available
in the Street Maintenance Striping Account 14504-5111.010.
