Title
Consider adoption of an ordinance amending section 12.16.010 of the Monterey County Code to establish a four-way stop intersection at Portola Drive and Estoque Place in Toro Park Estates in the unincorporated area of the County of Monterey.
Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt an ordinance amending section 12.16.010 of the Monterey County Code to establish a four-way stop intersection at Portola Drive and Estoque Place in Toro Park Estates in the unincorporated area of the County of Monterey.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On October 2, 2012, the Board introduced, waived the reading, and set today's date and time to consider adoption of the ordinance amending section 12.16.010 of the Monterey County Code. The County has received a public petition of 30 signatures for a four-way stop intersection at Portola Drive and Estoque Place for the purpose of public safety where a crosswalk and a designated school bus stop exist. The stop signs would benefit the safety of the community because of traffic flow patterns and nearby Kelton Park.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Office of the County Counsel has approved the ordinance as to form. The California Highway Patrol concurs with this recommendation.
FINANCING:
There is no financial impact to the General Fund. Traffic control devices are paid from the Road Fund. The cost to install the necessary signing is estimated at $800.00. There are sufficient funds available in the Road Fund (Fund 002, Unit 8195) to fund this work.
