CITY OF SAN LEANDRO • STAFF REPORT APPROVED AND FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL DATE: April 4, 201 1 Stephen L. Hollister TO: Stephen Hollister, City Manager City Manager FROM: Uchenna Udemezue, P.E., Director Engineering and Transportation Dep ment - BY: Reh -Lin Chen, Senior Transportatio Engineer Engineering and Transportation Department SUBJECT /PROJECT DESCRIPTION: RESOLUTION DESIGNATING PLACEMENT OF STOP SIGNS (CARRILLO DRIVE AT ARGUELLO DRIVE). SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the installation of stop signs on southeast bound and northwest bound Carrillo Drive at Arguello Drive. BACKGROUND Analysis Currently, the intersection of Carrillo Drive and Arguello Drive is a four -way uncontrolled intersection. Staff investigated resident concerns and determined that the installation of a stop sign on the minor street approach to clarify the right -of -way will 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 may have to stop. Providing positive traffic control (the motorists either have the right -of -way or must stop) would increase safety at the intersection. A collision database review found two reported accidents at the intersection over the past three years. Staff analysis indicates that the all -way uncontrolled intersection meets the criteria adopted by the City Council (i.e., Section 8.3.105 of San Leandro Administrative Code) for a two -way stop sign installation based on unusual conditions. Staff determined that the most appropriate right -of -way control for this intersection is the installation of a two -way stop sign on the Carrillo Drive approaches to Arguello Drive.
