TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
MEETING DATE: February 4, 1987
AGENDA TITLE: Approve Installation of Stop Signs at Eilers Lane and Lilac
Street, and Yield Sign on Murray Street at Calaveras Street
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the Citv Council adopt a resolution for the
insta lation of multi -way stop signs at Eilers Lane and Lilac Street and
yield sign on Murray Street at Calaveras Street.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Both of these intersections have unusual
characteristics. The major approaches at Eilers Lane/Lilac Street are the
southbound and eastbound approaches. The existing stop sign is located on
the westbound approach (minor approach). This intersection is not a normal
"T" intersection due to the volumes. There have been no accidents in 1986
and 1985. Construction of this intersection was complete in the fall of 1985
and, therefore, there are no previous accident records. Murray Street and
Calaveras Street intersection has no controls and is treated similar to a "T"
intersection. However, the design is more similar to a "Y" intersection.
There has been one reported accident in 1986, and none in 1985 and 1984.
The intersections have not had an accident problem and they also do not meet
the normal guidelines for installing yield and -multi -way stop signs.
The Public Works Department has received many complaints regarding these
intersections. Many drivers are confused by the unusual characteristics and
do not know which approach has the right-of-way. Staff recommends installing
the above controls to improve the right-of-way control. (See attached
exhibit.)
