RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE INSTALLATION OF
MULTIWAY STOP CONTROLS FOR THE INTERSECTION OF
VISTA DELGADO DRIVE AND LAS MANANITAS DRIVE
Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the installation of multiway stop controls for the
intersection of Vista Delgado Drive and Las Mananitas Drive.
BACKGROUND
Staff received a request from an area resident to evaluate the traffic circulation at the intersection
of Vista Delgado Drive and Las Mananitas Drive. The resident indicated heavy vehicular traffic
congestion during the morning and afternoon school dismissal periods and a school-age
pedestrian crossing at this intersection.
The intersection of Vista Delgado Drive and Las Mananitas Drive is a three-legged intersection
in a residential neighborhood and in close proximity to Arroyo Seco Junior High School. The
intersection currently has a stop sign on the terminating leg of Las Mananitas Drive.
Staff conducted an analysis of the intersection, which included the evaluation of vehicular and
pedestrian volumes, collision history, and visibility at the intersection. The analysis determined
the intersection of Vista Delgado Drive and Las Mananitas Drive met the minimum volume
warrants for the installation of multiway stop controls.
The installation of the multiway stop controls -will improve traffic circulation and safety for both
motorists and school-age pedestrians at this intersection. Staff informed the school and adjacent
property owners of the proposed multiway stop controls at this intersection', all of which were in
support of the proposed improvement. The school will also notify the parents of their students.
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 funds are
available in the Streets Maintenance Striping Account 14504-5111.010.
