RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE INSTALLATION OF
MULTIWAY STOP CONTROLS FOR THE INTERSECTION OF
PLACERITOS BOULEVARD AND QUIGLEY CANYON ROAD
Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the installation of multiway stop controls for the
intersection of Placeritos Boulevard and Quigley Canyon Road.
BACKGROUND
The Master's College requested the City evaluate the intersection of Placeritos Boulevard and
Quigley Canyon Road for possible enhancements to the pedestrian crossings at the intersection.
The school indicated a large number of pedestrians/students cross the intersection at various
times of the day.
Staff conducted an analysis, which included the evaluation of vehicular and pedestrian volumes,
collision history, and visibility at the intersection of Placeritos Boulevard and Quigley Canyon
Road. This is a four -legged intersection in a residential neighborhood with stop signs on both
approaches of Quigley Canyon Road and is maintained by the City. The Master's College
occupies properties on both the southwest and northeast corners of the intersection.
Based on the analysis, staff recommends the installation of stop signs on both approaches of
Placeritos Boulevard at Quigley Canyon Road making this a multiway stop -controlled
intersection. The intersection has moderate traffic volume, but high pedestrian crossing activity.
Staff observed over 350 students crossing at the intersection in one hour. The multiway stop
controls will reduce the pedestrian/vehicle conflict and enhance the pedestrian safety at the
intersection. Traffic on both Placeritos Boulevard and Quigley Canyon Road will be required to
stop before entering the intersection.
Adapted: qpso ka-as
Staff has discussed the potential multiway stop controls improvement with the school, adjacent
property owners, and the Placerita Canyon Property Owners Association. All those contacted,
except for one resident, are supportive of the proposed improvement at the intersection. The one
resident who did not support the proposed improvement cited concern for unnecessary stops and
additional delay. The Master's College also made an effort to contact adjacent property owners
regarding the proposed improvement.
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
(Fund 230) are available in the Traffic Signs and Markings Account 14504-5141.008.
