AUTHORIZING THE CITY ENGINEER TO APPROVE THE INSTALLATION

BETWEEN COOLIDGE AVENUE AND HOOVER AVENUE, AND A
PEDESTRIAN BARRICADE TO PROHIBIT CROSSING THE NORTH LEG
OF THE INTERSECTION TO ENHANCE TRAFFIC SAFETY
WHEREAS, a former resident of National City has requested All -Way Stop
Control at the intersection of Plaza Boulevard and Hoover Avenue to improve safety for
pedestrians trying to cross Plaza Boulevard; and
WHEREAS, based on traffic data collection and staffs evaluation of the
intersection, the criteria was not met for All -Way Stop Control at the intersection; and
WHEREAS, to improve traffic safety for pedestrians at the intersection, it is
staff's recommendation that parking lane striping on the south side of Plaza Boulevard between
Coolidge Avenue and Hoover Avenue be installed to provide a buffer from parked vehicles,
narrow the travel lane width to further reduce speeds, and shift eastbound through traffic further
north to improve visibility of pedestrians waiting to cross Plaza Boulevard; and
WHEREAS, staff also recommends the installation of a pedestrian barricade to
prohibit pedestrians from crossing the north leg of the intersection, which, based on the existing
configuration of that approach, presents a conflict with vehicles stopping in front to the
pedestrian curb ramp; and
WHEREAS, at it's meeting on August 18, 2010, the Traffic Safety Committee
approved staff's recommendation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City hereby authorizes the City Engineer to approve the installation of parking lane
striping on the south side of Plaza Boulevard between Coolidge Avenue and Hoover Avenue,
and a pedestrian barricade to prohibit crossing the north leg of the intersection to enhance traffic
safety.
