CITY OF SAN LEANDRO STAFF REPORT DATE: February 19, 2008 TO: John Jermanis, City Manager FROM: Uchenna Udemezue, Director Engineering and Transportation~~,Department BY: Keith R. Cooke, Principal Engi eer ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ SUBJECT PROJECT/PROJECT DESCRIPTION: APPROVED AND FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL Jo . Jermanis Cit~ `pager RESOLUTION DESIGNATING PLACEMENT OF STOP SIGNS, INTERSECTIONS TITLE VI, CHAPTER 1 OF THE SAN LEANDRO MUNICIPAL CODE (PREDA STREET AT LUCILLE STREET) SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the installation of stop signs on eastbound and westbound Lucille Street at Preda Street. BACKGROUND Analysis Currently, the intersection of Preda and Lucille is a four-way uncontrolled intersection. In response to resident concerns, staff investigated the intersection and determined that the installation of a stop sign on the minor street approach is warranted. This will clarify the right- of-way and make the intersection operate more safely than an all-way uncontrolled intersection. As motorists on the minor street approach this intersection, they may not be aware that they are in a stop condition. Therefore, providing positive traffic control (the motorists either have the right-of--way or must stop) would add to the safety of the intersection. A collision database review found no reported accidents at the intersection over the past three years. Staffs analysis indicates that the all-way uncontrolled intersection meets the criteria adopted by the City Council for atwo-way stop sign installation based on unusual conditions. Staff has determined that the most appropriate right-of-way control for this intersection is the installation of a two-way stop sign on the Lucille Street approaches to Preda Street.
