Agenda Report #
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Multi-way Stop Intersection, Amber Drive and Luna Drive
INITIATED BY: Engineering Department
Recommendation: Approve the attached ordinance amending City Code
Section 20-8.1 Through Streets Designated by deleting Luna Drive as an
intersecting street and amending City Code 20-8.1.2 Multi-way Stops Designated
by creating Amber Drive and Luna Drive as a Multi-way Stop intersection.
Background: The Traffic Engineering Division studied the intersection of
Amber Drive and Luna Drive for the application of a Multi-way Stop originating
from a CitiLink request. This intersection currently exists with Amber Drive
as the through street and Luna Drive as the intersecting/Stop street. There is
also an Intersection Flasher at this intersection flashing Yellow for Amber
Drive and Red for Luna Drive the stop street. Even with this traffic control,
there continues to be right angle and turning accidents.
Analysis: Traffic count and speed data was collected in performing the
Mulit-way Stop Study based on the warrants defined in the Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices. This intersection meets minimum traffic conditions to
warrant the installation of a Multi-way Stop control.
Financial Considerations: The cost of four additional "STOP" signs, installing
Stop Bars, Crosswalks and revising the flashing intersection beacon displays
will be approximately $1800 being charged to the Traffic Engineering Division's
Operating Budget.
Legal Considerations: All Multiway Stop intersection ordinances require
approval by Council.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approve Amber Drive and Luna Drive as a Multi-way
Stop intersection.
